[Intro]
Silent thoughts in the quiet night
Questions rise, no end in sight
[Verse 1]
I used to believe I mattered, I was part of a plan
That someone out there really cared, held me in their hand
But shadows whisper truths I hide, shadows whisper cold
Maybe I’m just a name in the crowd, a story yet untold
[Pre-Chorus]
Loving eyes see me pass, but do they really see?
Am I just a face in the line, or someone they’d rescue
When the storm winds blow?
When the times get tough, do they even know?
[Chorus]
I had an epiphany tonight, I am not important to anyone
People love me, sure, but I am not the one they’d risk their sun
I’m just a might-have-been, an echo in the wind
No one’s guardian, no one’s shield, no one’s holding me within
[Verse 2]
Dreams of being cherished, of standing tall, of being seen
Are just illusions, fragile threads in a fragile machine
I thought my worth was in their eyes, that I was worth the fight
But now I see the truth is clear: I fade into the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Loving those around me, I gave all I could give
But love’s not enough when it’s just a gentle flow, not a tide to live
Are they just passing love, or is there more beneath?
Or am I just a shadow in their reef?
[Chorus]
I had an epiphany tonight, I am not important to anyone
People love me, sure, but I am not the one they’d risk their sun
I’m just a might-have-been, an echo in the wind
No one’s guardian, no one’s shield, no one’s holding me within
[Bridge]
Maybe I’ve been hiding, maybe I’ve been blind
Seeking validation in places I can’t find
But now I know, I own my worth alone
In my own heart, I’ve found my home
[Outro]
So I’ll stand this night, alone but free
Knowing now what truly matters is defining me
And maybe someday love will see my worth
But till then, I’ll cherish the rebirth
