(Verse 1)
I laugh in the daylight, but the night knows my name,
Carrying the weight of a thousand unseen flames.
Every scar is a chapter, every tear is a song,
I’ve been breaking in silence, but I keep holding on.
(Pre-Chorus)
The mirror reflects a strength they can’t see,
But inside I’m fighting just to breathe.
(Chorus)
Behind the smile, I’m bleeding slow,
The world will never truly know.
I turn my pain into something that flies,
A voice that carries the tears I hide.
I’m a survivor, I’m still alive,
Even when I’m breaking inside.
(Verse 2)
Shadows follow where the sunlight fades,
I wear my armor, but it’s just a masquerade.
Every word unspoken, every cry I hide,
Lives in the spaces where my truth collides.
Yet when the strings hum under my hands,
I feel my spirit rise, I finally stand.
(Pre-Chorus)
The silence screams louder than I ever could,
But I’ll make it sound like something good.
(Chorus)
Behind the smile, I’m bleeding slow,
The world will never truly know.
I turn my pain into something that flies,
A voice that carries the tears I hide.
I’m a survivor, I’m still alive,
Even when I’m breaking inside.
(Bridge)
Every chord is a heartbeat, every note is a prayer,
A reminder to myself that I’m still here.
Though the darkness tries to steal my flame,
I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll sing through the pain.
(Final Chorus)
Behind the smile, I’m bleeding slow,
But the music heals what they’ll never know.
I turn my pain into something that flies,
A voice that carries the tears I hide.
I’m a survivor, I’ll never hide
Even when I’m dying inside.
(Outro)
And when the night comes, cold and still,
I’ll play my heart out, bend it to my will.
Piano whispers, guitar sighs,
The music carries me where hope survives.
Behind the smile, I’ve lived the fight,
And in these songs, I find my light.
