Longing for you

I walk through crowds with a quiet smile,

But my heart’s been aching all the while.

A secret locked in a fragile chest,

Longing for love like all the rest.

I laugh, I dance, I play the part,

Yet shadows linger in my heart.

Behind the mask, I barely breathe,

Dreaming of someone who sees beneath.

Chorus:

Will you find me where I hide?

Past the walls I built inside?

Can your love reach through the night,

And bring my truth into the light?

I’m waiting still, I’m waiting true—

Longing for someone, longing for you.

The world sees strong, but not the scars,

Not the nights I wish on stars.

I fold my truth in whispered prayer,

Hoping love might still be there.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

Maybe one day I’ll let it show,

The real me I’ve kept below.

And if you stay, through dark and fear,

I’ll know that love was always near.

Final Chorus:

Will you find me where I hide?

Past the pain I tried to bide?

Can your heart break through the fight,

And turn my silence into light?

I’m waiting still, I’m waiting true—

Longing for someone…

Longing for you.
