[Verse]
I see you laughing by the stairs
A quiet storm
You're unaware
My heart beats loud
A traitor's drum
But I can't let it come undone
[Prechorus]
The world’s got eyes
They’d never sleep
A secret’s safe
But it cuts too deep
[Chorus]
Behind the curtain
I watch you shine
A thousand words
But none are mine
If I could speak
I’d break the spell
But I’ve got a name to keep as well
[Verse 2]
Your smile’s a spark
It lights the dark
But I play cool
Avoid the mark
They think I’m stone
A flawless line
But inside I’m yours
And you’re not mine
[Chorus]
Behind the curtain
I watch you shine
A thousand words
But none are mine
If I could speak
I’d break the spell
But I’ve got a name to keep as well
[Bridge]
I wish the world could fade away
Just you and me
No debts to pay
But here I stand
In shadows deep
A love I’m bound to never keep
