Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You laugh at all the wrong parts Change the subject when it gets too close You say you're fine You're alright But your eyes keep writing different notes I see your hands always restless Like you're holding back a storm All these half-finished sentences I still don't know your true form [Chorus] If I only knew the real you What keeps you up What pulls you through Every scar you never mention Every cracked and crooked truth If I only knew the real you Would you let me Let me in too? [Verse 2] You dodge every old photograph Like the past might pull you out of frame You carry names like secrets Won’t even tell me who to blame You say you hate your birthday Like years have been unkind But I would hold each quiet ache If you'd just let me see inside [Chorus] If I only knew the real you What keeps you up What pulls you through Every scar you never mention Every cracked and crooked truth If I only knew the real you Would you let me Let me in too? [Bridge] What if I don't run? What if I don't flinch? What if every broken piece Still fits in my hands like this? (like this) [Chorus] If I only knew the real you What keeps you up What pulls you through Every scar you never mention Every cracked and crooked truth If I only knew the real you Maybe then I'd find me too If I only knew the real you Would you let me Let me in too?

Warm indie-pop ballad with male vocals, close-mic’d acoustic guitar and soft piano chords. First verse sits intimate and sparse; chorus swells with airy pads, light percussion, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Subtle bass and brushed drums build gently in verse two, bridge drops to almost a whisper before a final, emotional chorus.
