[Verse 1] The lights are heavy, shadows cling to me I smile for cameras, but it’s hard to breathe A thousand voices call my name But the silence knows me all the same [Pre-Chorus] Every step I take, I feel the weight Of a dream I can’t escape But when your eyes find mine, The noise begins to fade [Chorus] So I whisper in the dark, Words I’m too afraid to say aloud If I fall apart, Will you catch me when the crowd Turns away, when the stage lights die? Only you see the truth inside My heart is quiet, but it beats for you tonight [Verse 2] I hide my fears behind a dancer’s smile But my scar reminds me every mile The world demands I never break But with you, I don’t have to fake [Pre-Chorus] Every scar, every silent plea Feels lighter when you’re near me Even if I can’t be strong, You remind me where I belong [Chorus] So I whisper in the dark, Words I’m too afraid to say aloud If I fall apart, Will you catch me when the crowd Turns away, when the stage lights die? Only you see the truth inside My heart is quiet, but it beats for you tonight [Bridge] I don’t need the world to know The loudest love is soft, it grows Between the shadows, between the lines Your hand in mine… [Final Chorus] Whisper in the dark, Stay until the morning light Even if I fall apart, You’re the reason I can fight When the world forgets my name You still see me all the same My heart is quiet, but it beats for you tonight
