📝UNDER THE SAME SKIN

[Verse 1] I wear a smile like a disguise Keep all my storms behind my eyes I say I'm good, I say I'm fine While falling apart inside I've got some ghosts I never show Somewhere my broken pieces go A thousand words I left unsaid A thousand nights inside my head [Pre-Chorus] And every face I pass tonight Hides a world I cannot see We're all just trying to feel alright We're all just looking to be free [Chorus] We're all broken, we're all human Lost in the dark, still reaching for something Hearts full of scars, eyes full of dreams Trying to be more than what we've seen We're all falling, we're all healing Searching for love, searching for meaning Under the skin, we're never alone We're all just trying to find our way home [Post-Chorus / Drop] Oh-oh-oh, find our way home Oh-oh-oh, we're not alone Under the skin, under the skin We're all trying to begin again [Verse 2] There's a stranger crying in the rain A lonely heart hiding all its pain Someone laughing a little too loud Trying not to break in a crowded room Some carry winters in their souls Some hide the cracks beneath the gold But even ashes feel the flame And even lost hearts beat the same [Pre-Chorus] And every face I pass tonight Has a story, has a fight Maybe we don't need to be saved Just someone who will stay [Chorus] We're all broken, we're all human Lost in the dark, still reaching for something Hearts full of scars, eyes full of dreams Trying to be more than what we've seen We're all falling, we're all healing Searching for love, searching for meaning Under the skin, we're never alone We're all just trying to find our way home [Post-Chorus / Drop] Oh-oh-oh, find our way home Oh-oh-oh, we're not alone Under the skin, under the skin We're all trying to begin again [Bridge — stripped back, intimate vocal] I spent my life trying to be strong Acting like nothing could go wrong But I don't wanna hide tonight I'm tired of always saying I'm alright So if you're lost, come as you are You don't have to hide your scars Put down your walls, let someone in That's where the healing can begin [Build — rising synths, heartbeat-like kick] No more masks, no more lies No more hiding what's inside If we break, we'll break the silence If we hurt, we'll heal in kindness [Final Chorus — full production, layered vocals] We're all broken, we're all human Lost in the dark, still reaching for something Hearts full of scars, eyes full of dreams There's more to us than what we've seen We're all falling, we're all healing Learning to love, learning to feel it Under the skin, we're never alone We're all just trying to find our way home [Final Drop — anthemic, crowd vocals] Oh-oh-oh, find our way home Oh-oh-oh, we're not alone Under the skin, under the skin We're all trying to begin again [Outro — solo vocal, fading synth] Behind these eyes Beneath these scars We're not so different We just want to be loved.
