[Verse 1] I’ve been walking through these crowded rooms Hiding who I really am Smiling wide but feeling tired Wearing masks that never fit right The world is calling, but I choose to stay I've always lived my life that way [Pre-Chorus] Everyone's talking, I just know I need some space to take it slow [Chorus] And I don’t wanna fake a smile tonight Or find the perfect words to sound polite Sometimes silence is the truest sound That's where my happiness will be found [Verse 2] I’m done with matching every expectation Maybe it's me to blame If being real makes me stand alone Then that's how it will be In solitude I won’t disguise No fear of judgment in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] No more bending just to fit the shape I’m ready for my great escape [Chorus] And I don’t wanna fake a smile tonight Or find the perfect words to sound polite Sometimes silence is the truest sound That's where my happiness will be found [Bridge] So I’ll slip away, just for a while Leave the crowd but keep my style I’ll find some space to simply be To find the life that's meant for me [Final Chorus / Outro] And I don’t wanna fake a smile tonight Or find the perfect words to sound polite Sometimes silence is the truest sound And that’s where I will be found And that’s where I'll be found
