[Intro]
(Soft hums / vocal runs)
Mmm… yeah
Tonight it’s just me and these feelings
[Verse 1]
Lights low, mirror talking back to me
Heart heavy but my body wanna move free
I smile in the crowd, but I’m breaking within
Dancing with the truth that I’m hiding again
Every step to the beat feels like therapy
But the bass can’t drown out what’s haunting me
I’m spinning in circles, lost in my pride
So many words I keep locked inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear confidence like a perfect disguise
But you see through me when you look in my eyes
If I fall tonight, would you hold me tight?
Or let the rhythm save my life
[Chorus]
I’m locked inside, yeah, locked inside
My heart screaming while my lips stay quiet
Moving my body to survive the night
But my soul is tired of the fight
I’m locked inside, yeah, locked inside
These walls I built, I can’t deny it
If love’s the key, don’t let it slide
I don’t wanna be locked inside
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooooh-oh, ooooh-oh)
Don’t leave me here alone
(Ooooh-oh, ooooh-oh)
I just wanna come home
[Verse 2]
Sweat on my skin, tears in my smile
Been strong for too long, it’s been a while
They say, “You good?” and I say, “I’m fine”
But fine is a lie I tell all the time
Memories hitting when the beat slows down
Love I lost still spins me around
I wanna let go, but I’m scared to try
‘Cause healing hurts before goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
If I open up, will you run away?
Or stay when my darkness comes to play
I’m dancing through pain under flashing lights
Trying to make it through the night
[Chorus]
I’m locked inside, yeah, locked inside
My heart screaming while my lips stay quiet
Moving my body to survive the night
But my soul is tired of the fight
I’m locked inside, yeah, locked inside
These walls I built, I can’t deny it
If love’s the key, don’t let it slide
I don’t wanna be locked inside
[Bridge]
(Strip the beat, emotional)
If I break down, don’t turn away
I been carrying too much every day
I don’t need saving, just someone to stay
And dance with me through the pain
