Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] I live in the shadows where love and pain collide, I walk the line but no longer wish to hide. [Verse 1] What's it called when love and pain are the same? A tangled web, a song unsung. Conditions set, I can't break free, Is this what love's supposed to be? [Pre-Chorus] Your needs come first, I swallow my screams, Drowning in silent, hollow dreams. Hiding my pain, pretending to smile, Stretched thin, walking mile after mile. [Chorus] I gotta hide the truth, keep it inside, Wear a mask, wear a lie. You say I must be perfect and true. I, after all am a reflection of you. [Verse 2] Follow blindly, no questions, no dreams, Living in shadows, not what it seems. Every smile a carefully kept secret, A love that’s fractured, my heart into pieces. [Pre-Chorus] Your image reigns, stands so tall, If I ask for more, I risk it all. A worthiness that’s been torn apart, Lost the love within my heart. [Chorus] I gotta hide the truth, keep it inside, Wear a mask, wear a lie. You say I must be perfect and true. I, after all am a reflection of you. [Bridge] Can I break free from these chains? Find my voice amidst the pain? A love that heals, not divides, Free to love, to truly thrive. [Outro] Love shouldn’t hurt, love should set free, Love should allow for the true and best me.
