I See You (Mirrored by Zwiebelherz)

[Intro – whispered, distant, female voice] Who am I? ... I see you. [Preload – soft piano, violin, heartbeat, rising atmosphere] [Verse 1] You search for answers In broken glass Counting every version Of your past Some days you're laughing Some days you hide Trying to choose Which face survives You call it weakness You call it change I call it someone Learning through the pain [Pre-Chorus] You think I only see the masks I've always seen The one beneath [Chorus] I see you Beyond the noise Beyond the fear Beyond your voice I see the child Who learned to hide Still reaching For the morning light You keep asking "Who am I?" I've always known. I've always known. [Verse 2] Every contradiction Every scar Every place You fell apart Every question Left unsaid Every night You feared yourself instead Nothing about you Surprises me I have loved Every unfinished piece [Bridge] Before the first wound I saw you. Before the first mask I saw you. Before shame Learned your name I saw you. [Instrumental – violin, drums, orchestral lift] [Final Chorus] I see you Not who you pretend to be Not who the mirrors Want you to see I know the road That brought you here Every hope Every tear Every face Belongs to you Nothing was wasted Nothing untrue You are not lost You are becoming. [Outro – whispered] Who am I? ... My precious child... I see you. Always.
