[Verse 1]
I was surrounded by a crowd of faces
Smiles and voices filled all the spaces
They came to me with their broken hearts
And I held them close, played my part
But every night when the noise would fade
I felt the weight of the roles I’d played
Exhausted hands reaching out to save
While I buried my own soul in a grave
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore a mask so they couldn’t see
The poison that was pouring into me
A painted smile, a practiced tone
But inside I was so alone
[Chorus]
Until you…
Placed your hand upon my cheek
Told me softly, “It’s okay to be weak”
Broke my walls, shattered my disguise
Looked into my pain with honest eyes
You saved me, you showed me where I stand
Made me feel safe enough to take your hand
My best friend… you pulled me from the dark
And lit a fire back inside my heart
[Verse 2]
We’d play our games, I’d accuse you with a laugh
“Impostor, killer” we’d joke about the past
But behind the screen, behind my smile
You saw the truth all the while
You were the only one who’d stop to ask
“Are you okay?” and not look past
When things got hard, you held me close
In your quiet way, you gave me hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore a mask so they couldn’t see
The cracks in the armor breaking me
But your kindness cut right through
And showed me what was true
[Chorus]
Because you…
Placed your hand upon my cheek
Told me softly, “It’s okay to be weak”
Broke my walls, shattered my disguise
Looked into my pain with honest eyes
You saved me, you showed me where I stand
Made me feel safe enough to take your hand
My best friend… you pulled me from the dark
And lit a fire back inside my heart
[Bridge]
You reminded me that I matter
You held the pieces when I’d shatter
I’m not invisible, I’m not alone
With you, I finally feel like home
[Final Chorus]
Because you…
Placed your hand upon my cheek
Told me softly, “It’s okay to be weak”
Broke my walls, shattered my disguise
Looked into my pain with honest eyes
You saved me, you showed me where I stand
Made me feel safe enough to take your hand
My best friend… you pulled me from the dark
And lit a fire back inside my heart
[Outro]
Behind the mask, you saw me true
And now my soul belongs to you
My best friend, my guiding light
You saved my heart, you saved my life
