Lyric

Eyes trembling in the mirror’s glow

A drop escapes, no one else will know

Falling softly, tracing my cheek

Moonless window, pale and swaying

That faint smile on your profile

Lingers like a decoration on the wall

Your voice quietly fading in my chest

Before the words, I held my breath

Choosing only strength to carry

She smiles, I cry

Behind that unraveling smile

Unspoken wishes quietly bloom

Your lips said, “I’m fine”

Yesterday shattered, sinking

The daylight scent has left this room

All that remains is the memory of laughter

Fingers trembling, hair in place

Masking yourself again today

The more you smile, the farther you drift

Who sees the “real me”?

She smiles, I cry

Playing today’s role inside the mirror

With a flawless face

So no one can break it

Hidden deep, ever deeper

Behind the mirror, days spent crying

Wishing someone would notice

Even when looking toward the light

I walked still in shadows

She smiles, I cry

Even the swaying shadows feel distant

Two faces that never meet

Passing each other through the night

She smiles, I cry

A mask of a smile that knows no tears

Unnoticed, once again today

Choosing the “me” that’s not really me

Leaving the truth behind
