[singer A] I built a fortress out of silence, buried every dream alive. Every smile another weapon just to make it through the night. Called it living, called it strength, but I was only catching breath. Walking like a heartbeat… while I slowly welcomed death. Every scar became a language, every tear a hidden crime. Then your voice cut through the static like the first real sunrise. [melodic transition] [singer B] Why do you smile At all the pieces I've spent years trying to hide? Why do you trace The cracks in my heart Like they're constellations Instead of scars? The whole world taught me To fold in my wings To quiet my laughter To bury my dreams So why... Why don't you? [transition] [singer A] I never saw a broken soul. I saw a heart worth fighting for. You never had to hide from me… You were enough before. YOU BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE DEAD! WHEN HOPE WAS HANGING BY A THREAD! YOU SHATTERED EVERY MASK I WORE! SHOWED ME WHAT A HEART WAS FOR! I’m not surviving anymore… Because your love became the life I’m living for. [transition] [singer B] Why do you tell me I'm beautiful When I only see Everything that's wrong? Why do you love The heart I've been hiding When I've been told It didn't belong? You say my kindness Isn't weakness My love Isn't a crime So tell me... Why do you see A masterpiece... Where I've only seen A life trying to survive? [melodic transition] [singer A] Take my hand. Leave the darkness. Lay your armor at my feet. You’re already everything… You never had to earn my love. NO MORE HIDING! NO MORE RUNNING! NO MORE LIVING BEHIND A NAME! YOU TAUGHT MY HEART THAT LOVE ISN’T SOMETHING I HAVE TO CHASE! I WAS A GHOST… NOW I’M ALIVE! [transition] [singer B] Then let me be The one who reminds you... Every single day... You don't have to hide You don't have to shrink You don't have to silence Your heart Your love Isn't a crime Your kindness Isn't weakness Your light Was never meant To be hidden So take my hand...
