**(Verse 1)** Shadows divide the coldness of this room Behind my mask, I listen as you dream I keep my desperate heart safely out of view My reaching hand pulls back, unseen **(Pre-Chorus)** Falling too deep, knowing it's so wrong I bite my tongue and swallow what I crave **(Chorus)** I hold it all in, suppressing every word Letting this longing bleed into the dark Playing the martyr, giving you what you deserve This silent restraint is my most painful scar Just to stay by your side, even as a shadow **(Bridge)** The despair in this script is my own reality I wish I could break free and love you endlessly… But I can’t. **(Chorus)** I hold it all in, suppressing every word Letting this longing bleed into the dark Playing the martyr, giving you what you deserve This silent restraint is my most painful scar Just to stay by your side, even as a shadow **(Final Chorus)** I hold it all in, suppressing every word Letting this longing bleed into the dark Playing the martyr, giving you what you deserve This silent restraint is my most painful scar Just to stay by your side, even as a shadow **(Outro)** Close my eyes, and whisper to myself— Just hold back a little more… As long as you are happy, nothing else matters.
