Lyrics
[Verse 1] The sun goes down, I wear my smile, Play the part that's worth their while. Laugh at jokes, say I'm okay, Hide the storms that never fade. No one sees the cracks I keep, Buried far beneath my feet. But the silence knows my name, And every night it's all the same. [Pre-Chorus] The clock keeps counting, second by second, Building up the truth I've been neglecting. [Chorus] When midnight hits, the real me wakes, Every wall I've built just starts to break. The mask comes off, there's nowhere to run, I'm face to face with who I've become. The one who thinks of every word, Every silence left unheard. Wide awake while the whole world's asleep, Midnight always keeps the real me. [Verse 2] The shadows ask the things I fear, Questions no one else can hear. Every choice I've ever made, Replays like a worn-out tape. I'm chasing sleep that never stays, Lost inside a thousand maybes. My mind won't let the silence win, So I fight another night again. [Pre-Chorus] The moonlight knows the secrets I deny, It watches every sleepless goodbye. [Chorus] When midnight hits, the real me wakes, Every wall I've built just starts to break. The mask comes off, there's nowhere to run, I'm face to face with who I've become. The one who thinks of every word, Every silence left unheard. Wide awake while the whole world's asleep, Midnight always keeps the real me. [Bridge] Maybe one day I won't have to hide, Maybe daylight and darkness can collide. Maybe the soul I lock away Deserves a chance to see the day. If someone looked beyond my eyes, Would they recognize this life? Or would they only know the face That disappears when night turns late? [Final Chorus] When midnight hits, I come alive, Not because I want to but I survive. The truth I've buried starts to breathe, Wrapped in thoughts that won't release. I'm the dreamer who can't find rest, Fighting battles in my chest. Until the sunrise pulls me through, Midnight shows the hidden truth. When everyone else closes their eyes, The person I hide finally arrives.
