Ghosts I Hide

I've been afraid of the things I hide
The quiet battles deep inside
I've worn a smile when I wanted to break
Pretending I'm stronger than I could take

I've made mistakes I can't undo
I've lost myself trying to get through
Sometimes I wonder if I'm too hard to love
If my scars are more than enough

But you never looked away from me
When I was afraid of what you'd see
You found the truth behind my disguise
And stayed with me through every night

Ooh
You saw the shadows I was hiding
The broken pieces left inside me
You knew the battles I was fighting
And you still stayed right beside me

When I was lost, when I was fading
When I was someone I couldn't love
You held the pieces I was breaking
And reminded me I was enough

Ooh
You loved the parts I couldn't see
You stayed when I was losing me

I've chased the things that pulled me under
Lost my way and lost my center
I've held on to what was hurting me
Just to escape what I couldn't feel

I've had my demons, I've had my nights
Where I was losing every fight
I was afraid you'd see the truth
And walk away from what I became

But you never judged the wounds I carried
You never left when things got heavy
You saw the battles behind my eyes
And stayed with me through every lie

Ooh
You saw the shadows I was hiding
The broken pieces left inside me
You knew the battles I was fighting
And you still stayed right beside me

When I was lost, when I was fading
When I was someone I couldn't love
You held the pieces I was breaking
And reminded me I was enough

Ooh
You loved the parts I couldn't see
You stayed when I was losing me

I was the echo of a war I never won
A silhouette running from the setting Sun
You entered rooms I locked away
And spoke to ghosts I couldn't make obey

No miracle erased the scars I wore
You simply stayed and learned the shape of them
And somehow, in the chaos I became
A name I wasn't ashamed to claim

You saw the shadows we were hiding
The broken pieces left inside us
You knew the battles we were fighting
And you still stayed right beside us

When we were lost, when we were fading
When we were hard for us to love
You held the pieces we were breaking
And reminded us we were enough

Ooh
You loved the parts we couldn't see
You stayed when we were losing me

The parts I couldn't see
The parts I couldn't see
