Lyrics
Hush now, love, the night is drawing near
I’ve worn a smile to hide what I fear
Tell me, would you see through the glass?
Or just walk past?
I tried so hard to look like I’m okay
Painted skies where the storm never fades
Wish I could be the truth in your eyes
Not one more lie
‘Cause I’m tired of pretending
That I’m strong when I’m breaking
There’s a war behind this face
And I can’t keep faking grace
I’m not fine — I’m just quieter
A shadow in the mirror
Don’t ask why — I’d stumble through the words
Silence speaks what can’t be unheard
If I fade, will you still recall
The ghost at all?
I’m done with pretending
That I’m whole when I’m aching
There’s a fire beneath this skin
And I’ve caged it deep within
I’m not brave — just a dreamer
A shadow in the mirror
The idea#
The smile as costume, painted skies that never admit the storm. “I’m not fine — I’m just quieter”: a shadow in the mirror, war behind the face, grace faked until the voice admits it cannot keep faking. Would you see through the glass, or walk past?
Dark nocturnal ballad energy—even under an electronic tag—fits this confessional hush. Silence speaks what cannot be unheard; the fear is not only breaking, but being forgotten as a ghost. Tired of pretending to be strong or whole, the speaker offers the cage of fire under the skin as the only remaining honesty.
