When I Stop Running

[Verse 1] I've been filling every silence, Before it learns my name. Laughing louder than the thunder, Just to hide the rain. Every room became a stage light, Every smile another show. If I never stop pretending... Would anybody know? [Pre-Chorus] Maybe... I've been chasing echoes... Maybe... I forgot my own. [Chorus] So tonight... I'm letting all the silence sing. No more trying to be everything. If my heart is enough... Then let it be. No more running... Just finally... Me. [Verse 2] Every spotlight leaves a shadow, Every crowd goes home. Funny how a thousand voices Still can leave you all alone. Maybe love was never louder... Maybe I just couldn't hear. Maybe home was always waiting... Every single year. [Pre-Chorus] Take... All the noise away... Leave... Only what is real. [Chorus] So tonight... I'm letting all the silence sing. No more trying to be everything. If my heart is enough... Then let it be. No more running... Just finally... Me. [Bridge] I thought the world Would only love The loudest part of me. But every hand... Every light... Every face I see... Was waiting... For this voice... All along. [Final Chorus] Tonight... I don't have to chase the stars. Maybe they were never far. If my heart can finally breathe... Then this... Is where I'm meant to be. No more hiding... No disguises... No pretending anymore. If you hear me... Really hear me... Then I don't need... To shout anymore. [Outro] (Nearly a cappella with soft piano and strings) I'm still here... Even when... I whisper...
