Shadows Behind the Shine

Shining on the surface, shadows in my mind

Feeling all alone, no one really sees

Bright like the daylight, smiling for the world

But underneath, a storm is swirlin' deep inside

Silent battles in my head, secrets I can't tell

Hiding all my pain behind a pretty disguise

Can you see beyond the glow?

There's more than what is shown

Burning bright, yet cold

A story left untold

Bright on the outside, dark on the inside

No one gets me, no, no one understands

Lost in the shadows where I hide my tears

Wishing someone could see through my disguise

Bright on the outside, dark deep inside

No one gets me, no, no one sees my cries

In this lonely night, I pretend to be fine

Hiding all my darkness behind my light

Maybe one day, someone will see

The way I really am, not just what they believe

Until then, I’ll keep this secret deep

Living in the dark, afraid of the leap

Shining on the outside, shadows in my soul

No one really gets me, nobody knows

But I’ll keep shining, even in the night

Hiding darkness, chasing the light
