[Verse]
Smile stitched tight teeth clenched hard
Living for others while my soul's scarred
Carry the weight they never see
Chains of their joy shackling me
[Verse 2]
Words unspoken trapped in my throat
On their laughter my pain floats
Every step feels like broken glass
But I keep walking let the darkness amass
[Chorus]
I give it all while I decay
A hollow shell to light their way
My heart’s a storm they’ll never know
But I keep burning to make them glow
[Verse 3]
My dreams die quiet screams unheard
Bury the anguish in every word
They smile bright as I fade to gray
Living for them but I waste away
[Bridge]
Cracks in the mirror but I can’t break
Living for others my life’s mistake
Every breath a debt I can’t pay
But I keep breathing to face the day
[Chorus]
I give it all while I decay
A hollow shell to light their way
My heart’s a storm they’ll never know
But I keep burning to make them glow
