These sapphire eyes

Verse 1

I’ve spent so many years pretending

That nothing ever leaves a mark

Smiling through the aching silence

Learning how to hide the dark

Everyone sees who I am now

Not the child I left behind

Not the one who cried for answers

When no one came despite her cries

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And every time I think I’m healing

Something pulls me back again

So tell me honestly this time…

⸻

Chorus

Can you still see the light

In these sapphire eyes?

The darkness inside,

Do they still seem so bright?

If I showed you the scars

That I try hard to hide,

Would you still recognize me,

Or just say goodbye?

Can you still see the light

In these sapphire eyes?

⸻

Verse 2

Sometimes I look into the mirror

Searching for the girl I knew

Wondering if she’s somewhere buried

Under everything I’ve been through

I’m so tired of being stronger

Than I ever meant to be

But if I put my guard down for a moment

Would there still be anything left of me?

⸻

Bridge

Tell me, if the stars stopped shining

Would you stay and hold the night?

Would you sit beside the ashes

Until I found the strength to rise?

Or am I only worth the story

Of the girl who never breaks?

Would you love the shattered pieces

If that’s all I had to give?

⸻

Final Chorus

Can you still see the light

In these sapphire eyes?

The darkness inside,

Do they still seem so bright?

If I handed you my heart

Without a disguise,

Would you still reach for me,

Or leave me behind?

Can you still see the light

In these sapphire eyes?

Can you still see me…

In these sapphire eyes?
