Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lost in the shadows, carrying the weight,
Expectations high, feeling the strain.
She wants a hero, perfect and strong,
But inside I'm breaking, can't hold on for long.
[Pre-Chorus - Rising Pain]
In the mirror, I see a man,
Trying hard to understand.
The love I give, the pain I hide,
In this storm, I'm lost inside.
[Chorus - Pleading]
Silent screams, unheard cries,
Behind these eyes, a heart that tries.
To be the man she dreams, so real,
But what she wants, I can't conceal.
[Verse 2]
A real man opens doors, holds her hand,
Smiles through the tears, takes a stand.
But what about the nights I fall,
When the darkness comes, and I lose it all?
[Pre-Chorus - Rising Pain]
In the shadows, I fight my fears,
Every day, every year.
She sees strength, but not the scars,
In this war, I've come so far.
[Chorus - Pleading]
Silent screams, unheard cries,
Behind these eyes, a heart that tries.
To be the man she dreams, so real,
But what she wants, I can't conceal.
[Bridge]
Love is patient, love is kind,
But sometimes love is hard to find.
In the echoes of my mind,
I'm searching for a peace, a sign.
[Verse 3]
She put me on a pedestal, so high,
But I’m just a man, trying to get by.
In her eyes, I see the dreams,
But life is harder than it seems.
[Pre-Chorus - Rising Pain]
Every day, I give my all,
Hoping that she'll see me when I fall.
A real man, with flaws and fears,
Holding on through the years.
[Chorus - Pleading]
Silent screams, unheard cries,
Behind these eyes, a soul that dies.
To be the man she needs, so strong,
But the man she needs, is gone.
[Outro - Resignation]
In her love, I find my strength,
For my family, I'll go to any length.
Silent screams, but still I fight,
In their arms, I find the light.
Together we'll rise, through the night,
Holding on, we'll make it right.
