[Verse 1] When I first met you, I was caught inside your eyes. Eerie blue, still glowing, Like they could see through every lie. What did you find? Why are you still here? I've built these walls Year after year. [Verse 2] What do those eyes of yours see When they settle onto me? Someone jagged at the seams, Held together by old dreams. No choice but to grow sharp, Living in the dark. Do you see exhaustion? Do you see who I was? Or only what's left Because... When your gaze meets mine, It cuts right through. Why does it feel... Like you always knew? [Pre-Chorus] You could turn away, You could let me fade. Find another heart That isn't so afraid. But you look at me Like I deserve the light. And I don't know how... So I fight. [Chorus] Maybe that's what scares me. Not that you can see me... But that you look anyway. That you choose to stay, Even through the scars. You hold me close Like I'm reaching for the stars. But stars are liars. One burns bright, One burns out. Tell me... Which one's real now? Because yours still shines When it's next to mine. And somehow... You make the darkness look like light. [Bridge] I've never been this terrified To lose somebody. Not you. Never you. I called Ifrit when your heartbeat slowed. I'd split the sky, Raise hell below, Break every law The heavens know. For you. Always you. [Chorus] Maybe that's what scares me. Not that you can see me... But that you look anyway. That you choose to stay, Even through the scars. You hold me close Like I'm reaching for the stars. But stars are liars. One burns bright, One burns out. Tell me... Which one's real now? Because yours still shines When it's next to mine. And somehow... You make the darkness look like light. [Outro] So tell me... What did you see That made you choose Someone like me? Because I'll never understand... Why me?
