Nothing’s As It Seems

(Verse) Underneath the city lights, shadows whisper secrets, Dreams wrapped in silk and lies, we dance through the regrets. Hearts like fragile glass, caught in a reckless game, We’re searching for the truth in a world that feels the same. (verse 2) Fingers tracing memories on dreams we left behind, Promises like shooting stars—fading out of time. Searching through the darkness for a glimmer of your light, In this fleeting moment where our souls can unite. (Pre-Chorus) And when the dawn breaks free from all those midnight chains, We’ll rise above the ashes; love will wash away the pain. (chorus) ‘Cause nothing’s as it seems when you open up your eyes, Behind every painted smile, there’s a heart that longs to cry. We’ll break down these walls and let our spirits soar high, In this masquerade of life, together we’ll defy. (Bridge) Let them say what they want; they don’t know how we feel— Love's a fragile melody that's somehow made us real. So take my hand tonight; we'll face whatever comes our way— With every breath I take… I promise I'll stay. (chorus) ‘Cause nothing’s as it seems when you open up your eyes, Behind every painted smile, there’s a heart that longs to cry. We’ll break down these walls and let our spirits soar high, In this masquerade of life, together we’ll defy. (chorus) ‘Cause nothing’s as it seems when you open up your eyes, Behind every painted smile, there’s a heart that longs to cry. We’ll break down these walls and let our spirits soar high, In this masquerade of life, together we’ll defy. (Outro) Nothing's ever certain; it's just shadows on the wall— But love is worth believing in; it's worth risking it all. So let’s dance beneath the stars until they fade away… Together we'll uncover truths in each other's gaze today.
