In the shadows, I whisper to myself Words that cut deeper than anyone else
My standards soar high like stars in the sky Even when they break me down, make me cry
In the mirror, I see my flaws Every scar, every cause
I push myself to the edge In this silent, lonely pledge
I won't settle for less, no compromise Even if it means tears in my eyes
In this quest for perfection, I stand my ground In the silence of my thoughts, where I'm bound
Oh, the nights are long, the days are tough But in this heart, I find enough
Through the pain, I'll rise above In this journey, I'll find love
Every word I say cuts like a knife In this dance of love and strife
I push away, then pull you near Haunted by my deepest fear
In the mirror, I see my flaws Every scar, every cause
I push myself to the edge In this silent, lonely pledge
I won't settle for less, no compromise Even if it means tears in my eyes
In this quest for perfection, I stand my ground In the silence of my thoughts, where I'm bound
Oh, the nights are long, the days are tough But in this heart, I find enough
Through the pain, I'll rise above In this journey, I'll find love
In the quiet, I hear my cries A soul searching for the skies
Hold me close, don't let me go In your arms, I find my glow
I won't settle for less, no compromise Even if it means tears in my eyes
In this quest for perfection, I stand my ground In the silence of my thoughts, where I'm bound
Oh, the nights are long, the days are tough But in this heart, I find enough
Through the pain, I'll rise above In this journey, I'll find love
In this journey, I'll find my way Through the night into the day
With every tear, I'll learn to see The strength within the heart of me
In this journey, I'll find my way Through the night into the day
With every tear, I'll learn to see The strength within the heart of me
