(Intro — whispered) If I asked you... To tell me the truth... If the nightmare was real... Would you lie? Would you look me in the eyes And say I'm safe? Would you hold my hand While the world starts to break? Would you hide the storm Behind a painted sky? Would you let me dream Just to keep me alive? Or would you open the door And let the darkness in? Knowing once I see it... I can never forget again. (Verse 1) I can feel it in the silence, Something buried underneath, Every smile feels like a warning, Every shadow has a heartbeat. I’ve been chasing all the answers, But afraid of what they’ll say, 'Cause sometimes truth is just a blade That cuts the hands that reach its way. If the monster was inside us, If the mirror showed my face, Would you still call me human When I couldn't escape? (Pre-Chorus) Would you save me from the fire? Or tell me I’m the flame? Would you protect my heart... Or protect yourself from the pain? (Chorus) If I asked you to tell me the truth, Would you break me or let me believe? If the nightmare was real, Would you wake me... Or let me sleep? Knowing I would tear apart everything, Knowing I would burn through the lies, Would you stand beside me in the ashes? Or disappear when the world dies? (Verse 2) Maybe the scariest thing Isn't what waits in the dark, Maybe it's finding out The darkness had a heart. Maybe the villain was wounded, Maybe the hero was scared, Maybe we were both just ghosts Trying to prove we were there. I don't need a perfect answer, I don't need a painless truth, I just need to know one thing... Would you still choose me If you knew? (Bridge — emotional drop) Take away the masks, Take away the lies, Take away the version Everybody recognizes. If everything falls, If everything ends, Would you reach through the chaos And find me again? (Final Chorus — full instrumentation) If I asked you to tell me the truth... Would you let the world collapse? Would you hand me the pieces Or hide them in your past? Because I would rather bleed From a truth I can't deny Than live forever trapped Inside a beautiful lie. So if the nightmare was real... And I was standing at the edge... Would you save yourself? Would you save me? Or would you watch me Become what I feared?
