[Verse 1] You put that practiced smile on when I say good morning A mirror of a face you learned how to carry well I see your hands shaking under the table at dinner Hiding every question in words you refuse to tell [Pre-Chorus] Your coat stays hung by the bedroom door like it's ready for escape You look through me but never quite catch my face The static on our radio is getting louder than your name And I'm tracing every crack where you might slip out of frame [Chorus] Tell me where you hide when the room gets too quiet I need to know which part of you belongs to me Tear down the mask, let the real person breathe under my eyes I won't stop asking until your secret comes alive Tell me where you hide, just a crack in the wall Let me see who is there before I lose it all [Verse 2] You leave your phone face down and walk to the kitchen Like every screen has something that could break us apart The way you check the hallway when the TV goes silent Is a map of where you're going, or just the fear in your heart [Pre-Chorus] Your keys are in your pocket but you won't sit still You're measuring the silence like a debt you can't fill The static on our radio is getting louder than your name And I'm tracing every crack where you might slip out of frame [Chorus] Tell me where you hide when the room gets too quiet I need to know which part of you belongs to me Tear down the mask, let the real person breathe under my eyes I won't stop asking until your secret comes alive Tell me where you hide, just a crack in the wall Let me see who is there before I lose it all [Bridge] Maybe I'm hiding too A different door behind a colder room I want to tell you my own fear of being shut out But your silence makes it harder than I knew You're the fortress, and I'm just outside the gate Waiting for one honest word while I hesitate [Final Chorus] Tell me where you hide when the room gets too quiet I need to know which part of you belongs to me Tear down the mask, let the real person breathe under my eyes I won't stop asking until your secret comes alive Tell me where you hide, just a crack in the wall Let me see who is there before I lose it all [Outro] You left your keys by the half-open door today I'm still standing here with nothing left to say
