[Intro]
I was everything at once
Every mask, every stunt
Then the mirror went blank
All I heard was my lungs
[Verse 1]
When you stop lying
Silence gets loud
Every little habit
Walks out of the crowd
Who am I, really
Under all this talk
If I drop the act
Do I still walk the walk
Scroll full of smiles
Heart full of doubt
I was curating a life
I never lived out
So I cut that cord
Let the echo fall
Stood back in the room
With no name at all
[Chorus]
Let me be unknown for a while
Let me lose that practiced smile
I don't need a script on my tongue tonight
I just wanna feel what feels right
Let me be undone, undefined
Till the quiet shows me my light
I don't have to play it strong, all the time
I can reconstruct my life on truth, not a lie
[Verse 2]
Performance in my pulse
Approval in my veins
Every little compliment
Was taking up space
Chasing that clout
Like it made me real
But the crowd goes home
And you're stuck with the feel
So I sit in the dark
Ask, what makes me glow
If nobody’s watching
Where do I go
Coffee at sunrise
Laugh till I cry
Tiny soft moments
Where I don't try
[Chorus]
Let me be unknown for a while
Let me lose that practiced smile
I don't need a script on my tongue tonight
I just wanna feel what feels right
Let me be undone, undefined
Till the quiet shows me my light
I don't have to play it strong, all the time
I can reconstruct my life on truth, not a lie
[Bridge]
Strip it down, brick by brick
Who I am, not a trick
If it doesn't bring me joy
I let it drift
Yeah I'm scared, yeah I'm raw
Yeah I miss who I thought I was (oh)
But that version was a show
This one breathes, this one grows
[Chorus]
Let me be unknown for a while
Let me lose that practiced smile
I don't need a script on my tongue tonight
I just wanna feel what feels right
Let me be undone, undefined
Till the quiet shows me my light
I don't have to play it strong, all the time
I can reconstruct my life on truth, not a lie
