Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I learned to smile on cue
At the room, at the room
But my hands shake through
Even when I’m in the room
I wear my best clean shirt
Like a borrowed name
Still I feel too small
When they say my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I patched my face with praise
Then came home and bled
I keep the damage hidden
Under careful steps
[Chorus]
Life imitates art
But I miss the part
Where the hero stands
And doesn’t fall apart
Life imitates art
I can play the part
But in private I break
Right back in my heart
[Verse 2]
I laugh at the right times
I nod and I agree
Still I hear my own voice
Sounding weak to me
There’s a dent in my chest
From the nights I spent alone
Trying to be enough
In a borrowed home
[Pre-Chorus]
I patched my face with praise
Then came home and bled
I keep the damage hidden
Under careful steps
[Chorus]
Life imitates art
But I miss the part
Where the hero stands
And doesn’t fall apart
Life imitates art
I can play the part
But in private I break
Right back in my heart
[Bridge]
If you saw me at home
You’d know what I mean
The mirror keeps score
Of the wounds unseen
So I learn to breathe slow
Let the moment pass
Maybe one day I’ll be
More than my mask
[Final Chorus]
Life imitates art
But I miss the part
Where the hero stands
And doesn’t fall apart
Life imitates art
I can play the part
But in private I break
Right back in my heart
Life imitates art
Life imitates art
I’m still learning how
To live in the light
