歌詞

Smiles are calculated light

Silence plays like honesty

I pretend to connect, without really touching

Lonely by nature, afraid of the weight

Still wanting love, without a name

Wrapped in pride, stitched with lies

My truth hides in the shadows

I don’t belong to a place or a name

I wear my past like cologne in the rain

Too much to tell, too quiet to scream

Caught in the space between truth and a dream

Holding your gaze, but not letting you in

This is my pride. This is my skin

I hate my homeland, but I carry it still

With every heartbeat, it haunts and it heals

I’m angry, yeah—most of the time

But you’d never know, I smile just fine

Love me, but don’t come too close

I don’t live in anyone’s home

I’ve waited for someone to touch my soul

But I’m better off alone

Too much to tell, too quiet to scream

Wearing my wounds like a tailored dream

You think you see me, but this isn’t me

This is my pride. This is my scheme

In the noise of this perfect city

I choose silence, I choose pretty

I choose to stay

Too much to tell. So I walk away
