Original lyrics
ENThis fortress of scars
I learned to live behind closed doors
Where silence was a shield
Every echo on these floors
Was a secret I concealed
I carried these shadows long before you
A kingdom built on muted stone
Then you walked into this room
Unafraid of all the gray
You looked right through the hardened gloom
And didn't turn away
For the first time silence felt safe here
A language that you understood
The walls I built are trembling
And the dust begins to clear
And you saw the parts I kept hidden
The fractured heart I wouldn't show
In your quiet gaze I'm finding reason
To let a single flower grow
You made the darkness feel less like home
Could this be healing?
After all this time?
To trust the ground beneath my feet?
You ask for nothing yet you find
The man I was afraid to meet
Can I let go of what I was?
You saw the parts I kept hidden!
The fractured soul I wouldn't show!
In your quiet gaze I'm finding reason
To let a fragile flower grow!
You made the darkness feel less like home!
