Magician

[Acoustic Instrumental with piano] [Verse 1] He was there from the start, Just a kid with a magic heart. She called him whenever it rained, He'd appear, take away the pain. Playing tricks to make her laugh, Taking bunnies out of a hat. But he's breaking underneath, Hiding words he won’t reveal. [Chorus] He’s the magician, with a card up his sleeve, Pulling happiness out, though he can’t believe, That she’ll see him for more than this disguise, He's just a friend in her eyes. In his silence, he hides his shame, Feels the weight but won’t take the blame, If he speaks, would he lose it all? Or would they both just fall? [Verse 2] She’s been bruised and torn apart, By love that broke her heart, But he’s always there to mend, The close friend she won’t let in. Every trick, he falls deeper still, Every laugh, a wound he can’t heal, Wishing just for once, he’d confess, But he’s scared to make a mess. [Chorus] He’s the magician, with a card up his sleeve, Pulling happiness out, though he can’t believe, That she’ll see him for more than this disguise, He's just a friend in her eyes. In his silence, he hides his shame, Feels the weight but won’t take the blame, If he speaks, would he lose it all? Or would they both just fall? [Bridge] (Soft piano solo builds tension) All the words he hides, Are tearing him apart inside, He’d risk it all just to say, But he’s scared she’ll turn away. [Instrumental] [Pre-chorus, whispering voice] He’ll keep on, just as he’s been, Her magician, her friend unseen. [Chorus] He’s the magician, he can make her smile, But he can’t make her love him, no matter the trial, All he’s left with is this broken dream, In the shadows, unseen. In his silence, he hides his shame, Feels the weight but won’t take the blame, If he speaks, would he lose it all? Or would they both just fall? [Instrumental Outro] [Instrumental then end]
