[Verse 1]
Another night, same table, same glow
Your eyes on pixels, mine on the unknown
I want to ask what hurts you deep inside
But silence wins when feelings try to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
I reach across, you pull away just slightly
Afraid the words might break us quietly

[Chorus]
These walls behind the screen keep us apart
I’m scared you’ll see the cracks inside my heart
We both hide here, pretending it’s okay
But if we talked, what would we have to say?
I’m scared too, love, scared of being seen

[Verse 2]
I scroll to dodge the questions in your gaze
My own demons laugh at my escape phase
You think it’s you, but mirror shows it’s me
We’re both too fragile for what could be free

[Chorus]
These walls behind the screen keep us apart
I’m scared you’ll see the cracks inside my heart
We both hide here, pretending it’s okay
But if we talked, what would we have to say?
I’m scared too, love, scared of being seen

[Bridge]
What if I let the phone fall from my hand?
Show you the mess no filter understands
Would you stay or run from all my truth?
I’m tired of losing me to protect you

Chorus
These walls behind the screen keep us apart
I’m scared you’ll see the cracks inside my heart
We both hide here, but maybe it’s time we try
Drop the shields, look each other in the eye
I’m scared too, love… but I want to be seen
