Beneath my Smile

Авторский текст песни: Lyrical Spell

Your laughter wraps around me like sunlight I can’t touch,
Every story of your dates feels like needles in my chest.
I tried to stay away, but your words pull me closer,
Every smile you give to others… burns me quietly inside.
I’m the friend you trust, the shoulder you lean on,
Yet secretly I’m tethered to hope I’ll someday belong.

I’m a shadow in your light, silently holding back…
Hoping you might one day notice what I can’t say.

I’m your friend… but my heart beats differently,
Every glance of yours cuts deeper than I admit.
I watch you love others, quietly I ache,
Yet I stay, because leaving would break me completely.
I burn inside, caught between hope and despair,
And maybe one day… you’ll see me there.

I hear your stories, and I smile though it hurts,
Each confession of affection for another… a knife in my ribs.
I wish I could tell you, I wish I could show,
That the one standing beside you has a heart you don’t know.
But I stay in your orbit, silently hoping,
Maybe my love, unspoken, will someday be noticed.

I’m your friend… but my heart beats differently,
Every glance of yours cuts deeper than I admit.
I watch you love others, quietly I ache,
Yet I stay, because leaving would break me completely.
I burn inside, caught between hope and despair,
And maybe one day… you’ll see me there.

If I spoke my heart… would you even see me?
Or would it vanish like a ghost in your world?
Every smile you share with him… feels like a storm crashing inside me.
I can’t leave… though each day hurts more,
Because maybe… just maybe…
…you’ll recognize me.
I’m your friend… yet I ache silently,
Holding on to hope you’ll notice me someday.
And still… I remain here… quietly, hopelessly, yours in secret.
