Verse 1
I talk too soft, so you lean in closer
My words get lost, like smoke in October
You say my name, it cuts through the silence
I can’t escape, your beautiful violence
[ (hmm) ]
[ (whisper, whisper) ]
Pre-Chorus
My chest is heavy, it feels like a secret
If I let it out, would you even keep it?
[ (shhh) ]
[ (keep it, keep it) ]
Chorus
What if I told you, I’m breaking inside?
What if I showed you the tears that I hide?
Would you still want me, or walk out tonight?
I’m fading, I’m fading—
[ (fade out) ]
[ (fade into quiet) ]
Verse 2
Your shadow moves, it lingers behind me
I feel it burn, but you never find me
I’m just a ghost, you’re touching the surface
You get the most, but I lose on purpose
[ (ahh) ]
[ (you lose, you lose) ]
Pre-Chorus
I hold my breath just to hear you clearer
But the sound of doubt, it grows in the mirror
[ (closer) ]
[ (nearer, nearer) ]
Chorus
What if I told you, I’m breaking inside?
What if I showed you the tears that I hide?
Would you still want me, or walk out tonight?
I’m fading, I’m fading—
[ (fade out) ]
[ (fade into quiet) ]
Bridge
Do you want the truth or the version I fake?
If I give you more, how much will you take?
[ (ohh) ]
[ (take, take, take) ]
Final Chorus
What if I told you, I’m breaking inside?
What if I showed you the tears that I hide?
Would you still want me, or walk out tonight?
I’m fading, I’m fading—
[ (fade out) ]
[ (fade into quiet) ]
