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?
