Eine sanfte Pop-Ballade

[Verse 1]
I’ve walked these streets with shadows in my mind, 
Truths I buried, too heavy to find,
The silence speaks what I could never say,
But it follows me, day after day.

I held the flame too close, I watched it burn,
Now every secret waits its turn.

[Chorus 1]
If I could live to tell, would you believe me? 
If I could show the pain I hide,
The words I never said are still inside me,
Waiting for a place to rise.

I kept it quiet… too long,
too long...

[Verse 2]
Each step I take replays the past,
A voice once silenced speaks at last,
The time has come to lift the veil,
No more hiding, no more pale.

[Pre-Chorus]
But fear still lingers in the light,
Will I be heard if I don’t fight?

[Chorus 2]
If I could live to tell, would you believe me?  
If I could show the pain I hide,
The words I never said are still inside me,
Waiting for a place to rise.
(Still inside, still inside).

And if I fall before I speak,
Will silence be the voice I keep?

[Final Chorus]
If I could live to tell, would you believe me?
If I could show the pain I hide,
The words I never said are still inside me,
Waiting for a place to rise.

(Waiting… to rise…).

[Outro]
Waiting...
