[Intro] She was born to be sad... Knowing the parents she had... [Verse 1] She was born to be sad With the weight of the world in her hands Growing up inside the silence Learning how to hide the violence Every room felt cold somehow Every promise breaking down She learned how to disappear While standing perfectly clear [Pre-Chorus] And every night she fades away Into the colors and the rain Everybody sees her glow But nobody will ever know [Chorus] She hides in plain sight Even in the daylight No shadow will she cast ’Cause sunshine don’t last She glows like city lights Burning through the night But all beautiful things fade fast And sunshine don’t last [Verse 2] Mica eyes beneath neon skies A thousand storms behind her eyes Golden curls and porcelain skin Hiding wars that rage within She wears a face the world adores But still feels empty at the core Every smile a thin disguise For the darkness in her mind [Pre-Chorus] She dances through the static haze Lost between the nights and days Everybody loves her light But no one stays beyond midnight [Chorus] She hides in plain sight Even in the daylight No shadow will she cast ’Cause sunshine don’t last She glows like city lights Burning through the night But all beautiful things fade fast And sunshine don’t last [Bridge] [Beat strips away] [Dreamy vocal layers] She has no idea How many hearts she saves Just by walking through the room Like sunlight through the rain But when the colors disappear And the silence fills the air She goes home alone again Like nobody was there [Final Chorus | Huge atmospheric swell] She hides in plain sight In the broad daylight No shadow will she cast ’Cause sunshine don’t last She burns like fading stars Leaving traces in the dark A beautiful collapse ’Cause sunshine never lasts [Outro] [Soft synth fading] [Distant thunder] [Heartbeat bass pulse slowing] She was born to be sad... But she still shines...
