[Verse 1] I’m a record stuck on the same old track, Spinning circles I can’t turn back. They all say, “you’ve got a fire inside,” But my reflection just calls me a lie. [Pre-Chorus] They tell me, “find the good, don’t let it fade,” But all I see are shadows I made… [Chorus] I wear a smile like a borrowed mask, But it slips when I’m facing the glass. Every crack in the mirror screams my name, Like thunder that won’t fade with rain. I don’t want perfect, just something real, A scar that proves I know how to feel. [Verse 2] My words fall heavy, then fall apart, I drown in silence, I choke on the dark. Every prayer feels like it hits the floor, I whisper to God, but I’m not sure. [Verse 3] I dream of a love that could cut me deep, A hand to hold when I can’t sleep. Not perfect skies or flawless plans, Just broken truth between two hands. [Bridge] If I’m selfish, then let me be, At least it burns with honesty. I’d rather bleed from a wound that’s true, Than wear the chains of a flawless view. [Final Chorus] I wear a smile like a borrowed mask, But it slips when I’m facing the glass. Every crack in the mirror screams my name, But maybe the light shines through the same. I don’t want perfect, just something real, A scar that proves I know how to feel. [Outro] I’ve hugged myself… I know you have too, But if you’ll stand… I’ll stand with you. (I’ll stand with you… I’ll stand with you.)
