[Verse] In the corner of the room, she hides away Silent whispers, never gets a say Her name is Tess, but they don't know her story Ignored and forgotten, yet she's full of glory [Verse 2] Her eyes, they hold a sadness deep inside A broken heart, concealed with a smile she hides Invisible to the world, no one seems to care But behind her quiet facade, there's strength to bear [Chorus] Oh, Tess, the girl they never mention Lost in a sea of silence and pretension But I see your light, shining through the gray In this melancholy song, your name I'll sing [Verse 3] Maybe Tess reminds me of the friend I lost that day The silence echoing, words I couldn't say Did I miss the signs, the hurt behind her eyes? Could a simple kindness be the missing sunrise? [Chorus] Oh, Tess, the girl they never mention Lost in a sea of silence and pretension But I see your light, shining through the gray In this melancholy song, your name I'll sing [Bridge] The world throws shadows, whispers cast a doubt But a single voice can rise above the shout A hand outstretched, a flicker of a smile Can break the chains and turn back the long mile Let kindness be the chorus, loud and clear So the girl in the corner finally has someone to hear [Chorus] Oh, Tess, the girl they never mention Lost in a sea of silence and pretension But I see your light, shining through the gray In this melancholy song, your name I'll sing
