Quiet Light

[Intro] Quiet screens glow, but the room feels far away Footsteps in the hallway, a breath that won’t betray [Verse 1] I scroll through highlights, glitter on the feed Faces lit with laughter, I’m chasing what I don’t need Filters for a sunrise, a perfection I can’t keep In the small dim quiet, I hear my own heart speak [Pre-Chorus] Behind the glossy pixels, a softer truth hides A memory of mornings when the world felt wide [Chorus] The dream life shines on, but it’s a stage I can’t claim I trade the click for a moment that feels the same Authentic laughter echoes in the quiet air Real love, real breath, real people who are there [Verse 2] A cup of coffee grows cold while the sun climbs slow I hold a whispered joy that nobody needs to know The phone rests heavier when I’m truly seen By someone who stays when the screen goes green [Pre-Chorus] Disillusion fades into a softer view The honest smallness is what carries me through [Chorus] The dream life shines on, but it’s a stage I can’t claim I trade the click for a moment that feels the same Authentic laughter echoes in the quiet air Real love, real breath, real people who are there [Bridge] Letting go of the bright parade online I learn to keep what’s fragile and make it mine [Chorus] The dream life shines on, but it’s a stage I can’t claim I trade the click for a moment that feels the same Authentic laughter echoes in the quiet air Real love, real breath, real people who are there [Outro] In ordinary hours, I find the light that lasts Not in the filters, but in the warmth I’ve found at last
