Lyrics

In this silent room, where my heart's on display I'm weaving dreams you won't take away [Pre-Chorus] I laugh along, play the part I'm 'posed to But inside I'm singing, singing the blues [Chorus] 'Cause when you look at her, you see your whole world And I'm just a star, unseen, unfurled Tryna hide the ache, deep within my soul I'm tryna smile while you hold her close When you talk of love, it's her you lift up To skies I dream of, but can't be a part of, boy [Interlude: Soft Sigh] Ah, ah Ah-ah In the shadows (shadows) That's where I'm confined, lost in your world I'm the whisper, the girl undefined [Pre-Chorus] So I keep to the beat of my broken heart But it's freedom that love, it just tears apart [Chorus] 'Cause when you dream of her, you don't see my face But I keep pretending, staying in my place While you're out there spinning, in her sweet embrace [Verse 3] I fix my smile, while inside I'm bleeding Knowing I'm just the shadow you're not seeing Every laugh, every touch you share Cuts deeper, but you're unaware On the sideline, sip my wine, play it cool Watch your world revolve 'round her, cruel Every word you speak, it's like a song For her ears, but for me it's all wrong Hiding behind my silent screams Wishing I was the one in your dreams Keep my secret, these feelings I lock While you dance with her to the ticking clock [Pre-Chorus] I rehearse these smiles, wear this mask Hiding the truth, that's my only task [Chorus] The silent whispers of my hidden plea Go unheard while you're not with me [Bridge] Butterflies caged by my silent lips Fly in circles, while my sanity slips In the crowd, I'm there but still alone Watching love that I've never known [Outro] I'll just wait 'til the stars refuse to glow Maybe then you'll see me, maybe then you'll know
