[Verse 1] I carry quiet tremors no one ever sees— the shadows of decisions, the echoes of beliefs. We smile like perfect portraits, we toast to what we claim— but every glass is trembling underneath a borrowed name. [Pre-Chorus 1] Tonight the walls are listening, they’re closer than they seem. One secret whispered wrongly can unravel every dream. [Chorus] These are the things that could ruin me— the truths I hide, the ghosts I keep. The nights I prayed no one would ask, the lies I folded in my past. One wrong word, one pointed glance— and all I’ve built could split at chance. Oh, the weight of what I dare not see… these are the things that could ruin me. [Verse 2] We walk through halls of silk and gold, pretending we’re divine— but every saint and sinner here is standing on a line. We dance with calm precision, we laugh like nothing’s wrong— yet every breath is bargaining with what won’t stay for long. [Pre-Chorus 2 (with light harmonies)] We know the cost of slipping— of letting truth slip free. We know the price of silence, and the price of being seen. [Bridge (two voices / harmonies)] We walk on glass in borrowed names, pretending we’re unshaken. But every truth we lock away begs not to be forsaken. One wrong hand, one wrong word— a single shift of light… and all the things that could ruin me might surface here tonight. [Final Chorus (full harmonies)] These are the things that could ruin me— the truths I hide, the ghosts I keep. The nights I prayed no one would ask, the lies I folded in my past. One wrong word, one pointed glance— and all I’ve built could split at chance. Oh, the weight of what I dare not see… these are the things that could ruin me. [Outro] So keep your voice a whisper, love— your secrets close as breath. In a house built on deception, even truth can be a death.
