[Verse 1] City never sleeps, but I’m wide awake Counting all the breaths I forgot to take Every smile feels like borrowed light Every word rehearsed for another night I wear your name like a second skin Let you decide who I’ve always been If I bend enough, will you stay? If I fade out, will you look my way? [Pre-Chorus] I’m standing in the glow of a thousand eyes But nobody knows what’s behind the signs You say I shine, but I feel undone Living in a world where— [Chorus] No one sees the sun When the lights burn bright I’m frozen in the daytime But I only live at night No one sees the sun Through the glass and gold I’m screaming in the silence While the same old story’s told Say you love what I’ve become But you don’t know who I was No one sees the sun [Verse 2] Every mirror feels like borrowed truth Every headline says I’m bulletproof But I crack when I’m alone In a skin that doesn’t feel like home You say, “Don’t change, you’re perfect here” But perfection’s just another fear If I step out of your design Would you still be standing by my side? [Pre-Chorus] I’m breathing in the artificial glow Holding onto parts I can’t let show You swear this dream is second to none But dreams don’t rise without the sun [Chorus] No one sees the sun When the lights burn bright I’m frozen in the daytime But I only live at night No one sees the sun Through the glass and gold I’m screaming in the silence While the same old story’s told Say you love what I’ve become But you don’t know who I was No one sees the sun [Bridge] If I turn my face toward the dawn Would I disappear by morning? If I say my name out loud Would it shatter what you’re calling me? I don’t need saving I just need space To stand in the warmth Without losing my place [Final Chorus] No one sees the sun But I feel it burn I’m tired of the shadows I’m tired of waiting my turn No one sees the sun But I swear it’s there Even if I’m breaking I’m still standing in the glare You can love the shape I’m in Or love the truth beneath my skin Even if I run I won’t forget the sun [Outro] One day the night will come undone And everyone will see the sun
