Lyric

Every time you open up your mouth to speak

It’s just another joke, another winning streak

I’ve never seen you serious, not even for a day

Is chasing every laugh the only human way?

You look like someone with no worries in your mind

Leaving all the heavy shadows far behind

Shining like a light, a brilliant golden ray

While I’m the silent shadow, stuck in shades of gray

I guess it was inevitable, the way we were drawn

Like the deepest night waiting for the dawn

Just by being near you, the world began to glow

And I found a warmth I didn't think I’d know

But deep inside your heart, behind a heavy door

You’re holding onto scars from a secret war

To play the happy jester, to wear that painted face

I could never survive in such a lonely place

You use your own brightness to hide away the truth

While I create the darkness of my wasted youth

It’s no surprise we’re pulled together, skin to skin

I felt the same brokenness living deep within

I guess it was inevitable, the way we were drawn

Like the deepest night waiting for the dawn

I saw a reflection in the way you smile

That told me you’ve been hurting for a long, long while

You’re the light that’s shining, blinding and so bright

I’m the shadow hiding, longing for the night

But when opposites attract, the magic’s gonna start

It’s not a mystery, this pull upon the heart

If we open up our souls, let the secrets run

Two broken pieces can finally become one

Take off the mask, you don’t have to perform

I’ll be the shelter from your inner storm

You don’t have to shine if you’re feeling low

In the quiet darkness, we can truly grow

You’re the light that’s shining, blinding and so bright

I’m the shadow hiding, longing for the night

It’s no longer a mystery, no longer a surprise

I see the real you looking through my eyes

If we open up our souls, let the secrets run

Two broken pieces can finally become one

The light and the shadow

We're more alike than they know

Just you and me

Becoming one
