My Side

I've got a side you've never seen
The darker part, where shadows lean
It hides behind my smile and grace
But in the night, it shows its face

The whispers come when no one's near
The side of me that feeds on fear
It's not the one you'd recognize
But it's there, behind my eyes

I've got a second side, it's not like me
It's wild and free, can't let it be
It's the part I try to hide
But it's still here, deep inside
Two sides of me, but only one you see
The other waits, quietly

It's in the choices that I make
The risks I take, the hearts I break
A side that's cold, it doesn't care
But it's always, always there

In the mirror, I see both clear
One filled with hope, one ruled by fear
I try to keep it locked away
But it slips out, day by day

You don't know the half of me
The part that's wild and won't be free
I fight it hard, I keep it tame
But it's the side that owns the flame

I've got a second side, it's not like me
It's wild and free, can't let it be
It's the part I try to hide
But it's still here, deep inside
Two sides of me, but only one you see
The other waits, quietly

It's wild and free, can't let it be
It's the part I try to hide
But it's still here, deep inside
Two sides of me, but only one you see
The other waits, quietly
