⟪ 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬 ⟫

[Verse 1] Blue light breathing on the ceiling
ten small windows, ten small names
someone edits down the bleeding
till it fits inside a frame Hearts arrive in perfect order
tiny candles, all the same
before the final line has landed
everybody leaves the page [Pre-Chorus] They’ll hold a match beneath your name
but never sit beside the flame [Chorus] Everybody wants a witness
nobody wants to stay
everybody loves the truth
until it looks their way Call it brave
call it beautiful
frame it for display But when the hurt stops sounding pretty
everybody looks away Look away
look away [Verse 2] Someone whispers, “I’m disappearing”
someone answers, “Same as me”
every grief becomes a mirror
till no one sees who’s underneath Pain is easy through a speaker
trimmed to fit the melody
harder when it takes a body
and asks for your company [Pre-Chorus 2] They know the lyric
know the cue
know how to praise it
not sit with you [Chorus] Everybody wants a witness
nobody wants to stay
everybody loves the truth
until it looks their way Call it brave
call it beautiful
frame it for display But when the hurt stops sounding pretty
everybody looks away Look away
look away [Post-Chorus] You showed them where it hurt
they called it beautiful You showed them where it hurt
they called it beautiful Then looked away [Bridge] When the room went dark
and the comments died
one chair stayed
across from mine No cure to offer
no line to say
just a pair of eyes
that didn’t look away [Breakdown] No fixing
no saving
no need to explain Just stay
just stay [Final Chorus] Everybody wants a witness
someone chose to stay
didn’t call the silence beautiful
didn’t turn it into praise No fixing
no performance
no perfect words to say Just one pair of eyes still open
that did not look away Don’t look away
don’t look away Sometimes one
is enough [Outro] No applause
no perfect phrase Just someone there
when the song went quiet
