(Verse 1) In the city lights where shadows play, There's a guy, just searching for a way. Doing bad stuff, but his heart's not cold, He's seeking love in a world so bold. (Pre-Chorus) He paints on a smile, hides the tears inside, Desperation whispers, in the lonely night. (Chorus) He just wants them to like him, approval he'll chase, Caught in a cycle, a dangerous embrace. But beneath the mask, a heart torn apart, He's a lost soul, searching for a fresh start. (Verse 2) In the alleys of regret, where choices are made, He dances with demons, in a masquerade. Burning bridges, but he longs to belong, Aching for affection, in a world that's wrong. (Pre-Chorus) He's a puzzle of contradictions, misunderstood, Yearning for love, in a neighborhood. (Chorus) He just wants them to like him, approval he'll chase, Caught in a cycle, a dangerous embrace. But beneath the mask, a heart torn apart, He's a lost soul, searching for a fresh start. (Bridge) Misguided steps in the dance of life, Hoping for redemption, from the strife. But the crowd judges, unaware, That his mistakes are cries for someone to care. (Verse 3) Through the chaos, a glimpse of light, A chance for change, in the dark of night. He yearns for forgiveness, a clean slate, To break free from the cycle, before it's too late. (Pre-Chorus) He's a story untold, redemption at stake, In a world that's harsh, a choice to make. (Chorus) He just wants them to like him, approval he'll chase, Caught in a cycle, a dangerous embrace. But beneath the mask, a heart torn apart, He's a lost soul, searching for a fresh start. (Outro) In the echo of choices, a plea for grace, A guy with flaws, in this crowded space. He'll find his way, through the stormy art, Hoping one day, they'll see his true heart.
