Lyrics
Verse 1:
They say, "Just give it everything, pour your heart out on the page"
But what’s the point of greatness if it’s locked inside a cage?
I see their empty faces, the hollow praise they throw
They’ll never understand the fire burning in my soul
Pre-Chorus:
I’ve got a vision, but I’m keeping it inside
They’ll never get the truth in the beauty I’ve designed
Why let them tear it down, when they’ll never see the light?
I’d rather keep it hidden than watch them drain it dry
Chorus:
I won’t give my passion to a world that doesn’t care
They’d never understand it, so why should I even dare?
It’s better to keep dreaming of what it could have been
Than let them take my vision and twist it in their spin
I’ll hold on to my silence, protect what’s in my heart
Better to leave it unspoken than watch them tear it apart
They’ll never know the beauty, the greatness they can’t see
So I’ll keep it in the shadows, where it’s safest to be free
Verse 2:
They want me to believe that compromise is strength
But I won’t bend or break, won’t go to those lengths
They don’t deserve my passion, they don’t deserve my fire
I won’t feed their empty souls, I won’t give them my desire
Pre-Chorus:
I’ve got a masterpiece, but it’ll never see the light
I won’t hand it over to those who never fight
Why create for a world that’s too blind to understand?
I’d rather let it die than place it in their hands
Chorus:
I won’t give my passion to a world that doesn’t care
They’d never understand it, so why should I even dare?
It’s better to keep dreaming of what it could have been
Than let them take my vision and twist it in their spin
I’ll hold on to my silence, protect what’s in my heart
Better to leave it unspoken than watch them tear it apart
They’ll never know the beauty, the greatness they can’t see
So I’ll keep it in the shadows, where it’s safest to be free
Bridge:
I could paint the sky in colors they’ve never even dreamed
But what’s the use of brilliance if it’s torn apart at the seams?
I’ll guard the light within me, keep it burning in the dark
Better to never let it out than see them miss the spark
Chorus:
I won’t give my passion to a world that doesn’t care
They’d never understand it, so why should I even dare?
It’s better to keep dreaming of what it could have been
Than let them take my vision and twist it in their spin
I’ll hold on to my silence, protect what’s in my heart
Better to leave it unspoken than watch them tear it apart
They’ll never know the beauty, the greatness they can’t see
So I’ll keep it in the shadows, where it’s safest to be free
Outro:
I’ll keep the fire burning, but I won’t let it show
It’s better to be silent than let them take control
My passion stays my own, untouched by their disdain
In the depths of my heart, it’ll always remain
