Where the Light Can’t Reach

Somewhere deep beneath my skin
There's a place I lock my sins
Every memory I've denied
Still comes back to stay the night

I've been hiding shattered parts
Buried in my quiet heart
Every time I try to speak
The voice inside feels far too weak

But the shadows know
Every tear I never show

Where the light can't reach
I'm breaking silently
In the dark beneath
What I pretend to be
Where the light can't reach
I'm falling endlessly
No one sees the ache in me
Where the light can't reach

Every fear I pushed away
Still returns to beg me stay
I've been drowning in myself
Afraid to cry for someone's help

If they saw the truth in me
Would they still want me to be?
Or would every hidden flaw
Be the reason they withdraw?

So the shadows know
What I'm too afraid to show

Where the light can't reach
I'm breaking silently
In the dark beneath
What I pretend to be
Where the light can't reach
I'm falling endlessly
No one sees the ache in me
Where the light can't reach

If I open up the door
Would I fall or rise once more?
Could I trust the world to stay
If I let the light find its way?

Where the light can't reach
I'm breaking silently
But maybe one day
The light will rescue me
Where the light can't reach
I'll find my remedy
And the shadows won't own me
Where the light can't reach
