Beneath the Surface
Girard
Beneath the Surface
(Verse 1)
I thought I knew you, every word, every smile,
Your laugh, your touch, all the little things that made it worthwhile,
We built a world with the stories we told,
But there’s a side to you I never thought I’d unfold.
I never saw it coming, it hit me like a wave,
A truth I couldn’t ignore, a secret that you couldn’t save,
The person I knew, now feels so far away,
A shadow in the light, where your heart used to stay.
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought you were simple, I thought you were clear,
But there’s a darkness hiding somewhere near.
All these years, I didn’t know your pain,
Now I see the cracks, the heartache, the strain.
(Chorus)
Beneath the surface, there’s a side I never knew,
A world inside you that I never got to view,
All the walls you built, the lies you tried to keep,
Now I see you, and it cuts so deep.
Beneath the surface, you were never who you seemed,
A tangled heart with unspoken dreams.
The truth is out, and now I understand,
That the person I knew, was slipping through my hands.
(Verse 2)
I wish you’d told me, I wish you’d let me in,
But now I’m left to piece together where it all begins,
All the smiles we shared, the laughter that rang,
Were just echoes of a life that you couldn’t sustain.
You wore your mask so well, I couldn’t see the cracks,
But now that they’ve broken, there’s no turning back,
The person I trusted, the one I believed,
Had a side they hid, a story I couldn’t conceive.
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought you were happy, I thought you were strong,
But beneath the surface, something went wrong.
I see the truth now, behind all the lies,
The person I knew, was a disguise.
(Chorus)
Beneath the surface, there’s a side I never knew,
A world inside you that I never got to view,
All the walls you built, the lies you tried to keep,
Now I see you, and it cuts so deep.
Beneath the surface, you were never who you seemed,
A tangled heart with unspoken dreams.
The truth is out, and now I understand,
That the person I knew, was slipping through my hands.
(Bridge)
I see the scars you’ve hidden all these years,
The quiet pain, the unshed tears.
And now I wonder, was I ever truly blind?
Or was this a secret you left behind?
(Chorus)
Beneath the surface, there’s a side I never knew,
A world inside you that I never got to view,
All the walls you built, the lies you tried to keep,
Now I see you, and it cuts so deep.
Beneath the surface, you were never who you seemed,
A tangled heart with unspoken dreams.
The truth is out, and now I understand,
That the person I knew, was slipping through my hands.
(Outro)
Beneath the surface, beneath the lies,
I see you now, no more disguise.
And though it hurts, I’ve come to find,
The person I knew was never mine.
