The Place Inside

[Verse 1] I keep my head down, I don’t make a sound The world moves fast, I’m just watching now Do they notice me, or am I just a ghost? Fading in the background, afraid to get close I’m just a shadow in somebody’s eyes Will I disappear, leave no trace behind? [Pre-Chorus] And I know, I know, I shouldn’t care But the whispers follow me everywhere Even when I try to close my eyes The echoes of doubt still fill the sky My heart is trembling deep inside But still I walk, I won’t hide [Chorus] I just wanna find a place where I don’t have to hide Where I’m not a stranger, just passing by Will they see me for who I am inside? Or will I always be the quiet one in their eyes? I just wanna be myself without the fear inside Is there somewhere I can finally feel alive? [Verse 2] The mirror tells stories I don’t wanna hear I fight the reflection, but it won’t disappear Every word they say, I take it too deep Like ink on my skin, it cuts too deep If I change myself, will it make things right? Or can I learn to love who I am in time? [Bridge] Maybe one day, I’ll find my way Where the silence speaks louder than what they say I’ll stand in the light, not fade in the dark No more hiding, I’ll show my heart I’ll keep on walking, though the road’s not kind Someday that place will be mine [Outro] I just wanna find a place where I don’t have to hide Maybe that place was in me this whole time I won’t run away, not anymore ’Cause I am me... and that’s enough, for sure
