I wear my smile like a costume on the stage Dancing through the lines, but I'm trapped inside this cage Every heartbeat’s a secret that I hide Living half a life, with half of me denied They see the colors, but they don’t know the shades A rainbow in the dark, where my truth always fades Caught between the lines of who I am and what they see In a world that’s black and white, where’s the space for me? Mirror, mirror, tell me what you see A shadow of the truth, or just who they want me to be? But the glass is cracking, I can feel it in my soul Trying to break free, but I'm losing control I'm in love with the night, where no one can see But the daylight’s a prison, where I'm not really me I'm scared of the truth, and what they’ll say But I'm tired of the lies that keep me at bay These chains are made of whispers, stares, and fear Every step I take, I feel them drawing near But my heart beats louder, with every stolen glance In the shadows of the night, I'm dreaming of a chance Mirror, mirror, do you know my name? Or just the mask I wear to keep from the shame? But the cracks are growing, can’t keep this charade I'm a spark in the dark, and I'm ready to blaze I'm in love with the night, where no one can see But the daylight’s a prison, where I'm not really me I'm scared of the truth, and what they’ll say But I'm tired of the lies that keep me at bay They say love is love, but it feels like a crime When I'm hiding who I am, just to buy some time But my heart’s on fire, and it’s burning me down I'm done with the shadows, I want to be found I'm in love with the night, where no one can see But the daylight’s a prison, where I'm not really me I'm scared of the truth, and what they’ll say But I'm tired of the lies that keep me at bay Behind the mask, I'm just a boy who’s lost But I'm ready to love, no matter the cost I'm stepping into the light, no more disguise I’ll be who I am, no more compromise Behind the mask, I'm just a boy who’s lost But I'm ready to love, no matter the cost I'm stepping into the light, no more disguise I’ll be who I am, no more compromise
