A Quiet Room Inside the Noise

[Intro] Marble floors, borrowed smiles, Everyone shining, nobody still. [Verse 1] Black dress, borrowed courage, Hands busy just to look calm. Champagne bubbles daring me To pretend this is my home. They say my name like a checkbox, Say “great cause,” then drift away. I stand by the window counting exits, Learning how to fade. [Pre-Chorus] All this money talks so loud, I can’t hear myself breathe. [Chorus] I wasn’t looking to be found, Wasn’t asking for a scene, Then your eyes cut through the room Like you knew exactly what I mean. Not a headline, not a role, Just a human, just me. For a second in the noise, I was seen. [Verse 2] You wear the suit like armor, Like you learned it young. Smile sharp, edges perfect, But your silence gives you up. I know that look—inventory, Counting cracks in the design. You’re standing in the spotlight But you’re nowhere inside. [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the loudest rooms Hide the quiet kind of truth. [Chorus] I wasn’t looking to be found, Wasn’t chasing anything, But your glance said, “Yeah, same here, I don’t fit the shape they’re selling.” Not a savior, not a sin, Just a spark, dangerously clean. For a second in the noise, I was seen. [Instrumental] Everything drops but the pulse. [Bridge] You said, “This place is loud,” I said, “You don’t belong.” It landed heavy, soft somehow, Like the right and wrong both gone. No promises, no names, Just air that finally felt real. That’s the kind of moment They can’t steal. [Double Chorus] I wasn’t looking to be found, Wasn’t ready to be bare, But you saw the part of me That does the work nobody cheers. And I saw past the gold and gloss, Past the version on the screen. In a room full of reflections, We were real. [Outro] You walked back into the crowd, I stayed where the ferns could hear. But somewhere quiet, somewhere honest, I know you’ll find me there.
