**Verse 1:**
I’m just a shadow on the wall,
In the corner of the room, standing tall.
But when the light swings my way,
I feel like I’ve been betrayed,
Caught in a place I never wanted to be.

**Pre-Chorus:**
I didn’t ask for the eyes on me,
Didn’t want the world to see,
All the cracks and fears I keep inside.
But now I’m here, nowhere to hide.

**Chorus:**
In the spotlight, I’m frozen,
Heart’s racing, can’t control it.
I’m trying to find my breath, my voice,
But silence seems the loudest choice.
In the center, I’m breaking,
But no one sees the fear I’m faking.
Under the weight of the eyes,
I’m learning to survive,
In the place I never wanted to be.

**Verse 2:**
Every word feels like a thread,
One wrong move and I’m on a ledge.
But I smile, I play the part,
Even though it’s tearing at my heart,
I’m not the one they think they see.

**Pre-Chorus:**
I didn’t ask for the stage so bright,
Didn’t want to be caught in this light,
But I’m here now, so I’ll stand tall,
Even if inside, I’m about to fall.

**Chorus:**
In the spotlight, I’m frozen,
Heart’s racing, can’t control it.
I’m trying to find my breath, my voice,
But silence seems the loudest choice.
In the center, I’m breaking,
But no one sees the fear I’m faking.
Under the weight of the eyes,
I’m learning to survive,
In the place I never wanted to be.

**Bridge:**
Maybe someday I’ll find,
The strength to own this light,
To stand without the fear of falling.
But for now, I’ll just hold on,
To the edge, till the moment’s gone,
Hoping that no one sees me crawling.

**Chorus:**
In the spotlight, I’m frozen,
Heart’s racing, can’t control it.
I’m trying to find my breath, my voice,
But silence seems the loudest choice.
In the center, I’m breaking,
But no one sees the fear I’m faking.
Under the weight of the eyes,
I’m learning to survive,
In the place I never wanted to be.

**Outro:**
I never wanted to be here,
But I’m learning to stay,
In the place where I’m seen,
But still hiding away.
In the spotlight, I’m frozen,
But I’m finding my way.
