[Verse 1] People say I’m sweet, Friends say I’m kind. Strangers ask, “Why are you alone tonight?” They see a gentle soul, a heart that forgives, But if they knew my truth, they’d wonder how I live. When I think of hate, No one else comes to mind… Until I look in the mirror, And face the fight inside. [Chorus] How could it be? Through the pain, I’m still here, still me. A soul that’s been broken, a heart that’s been bruised, But somehow I’ve learned, I’ve still got to choose. To love what I see, to rewrite my fate, To rise from the ashes, not be defined by hate. [Verse 2] As a child, I believed what they said: “A gay boy like you will always live in dread.” Bullies tied me down, fists in my face, The world felt like a cold and empty place. But at home, love kept me breathing, A family’s warmth gave my life meaning. Though the world was cruel, they helped me see, That I’m stronger than the lies inside of me. [Chorus] How could it be? Through the pain, I’m still here, still me. A soul that’s been broken, a heart that’s been bruised, But somehow I’ve learned, I’ve still got to choose. To love what I see, to rewrite my fate, To rise from the ashes, not be defined by hate. [Outro] When I look in the mirror, I see it clear, The battles I’ve fought, the strength in my tears. Through cracks in the glass, the light breaks through, I’ve found my power—and it’s shining true.

[Verse 1] We’re so alike, yet not the same, INFJs tied by love and pain. Lost in our heads, fixing mistakes, Sometimes we miss the love standing in our way. When we kiss, we breathe as one, Inhaling deeply, the connection’s begun. Your scent’s intoxicating, pulling me in, Endorphins release, we’re tangled within. [Chorus] Are you my mirror or something more? A reflection I’ve never seen before. You understand me in every way, A blessing or curse—my INFJ. [Verse 2] We’re cut from the same fabric, stitched uniquely, Seeing others’ flaws, but blind to our own insecurities. Dancing around truths we don’t want to face, Until they hit us, leaving no escape. Meeting you is a world in a single space, You teach me lessons I don’t want to erase. With you, I can open up, share my fears, You hold no judgment, you’ve shed those tears. [Chorus] Are you my mirror or something more? A reflection I’ve never seen before. You understand me in every way, A blessing or curse—my INFJ. [Bridge] You challenge me, you help me grow, Love that’s equal, steady, and whole. Comfort in places I never thought I’d be, With you, I’ve found the better parts of me. [Chorus] Are you my mirror or something more? A reflection I’ve never seen before. You understand me in every way, A blessing or curse—my INFJ. [Outro] So here’s where I end, though I could go on, With you, my INFJ, is where I belong. A bond so rare, a love that stays, In you, I’ve found my forever place.
Your touch still lingers, I can feel your lips Your beard brushing mine, that tender kiss Your skin so soft, gave me goosebumps too I let my guard down, surrendered to you You closed your eyes, held me tight that night I kissed your forehead and whispered goodnight But now my room is cold, empty as can be Where did that moment go? Why did you leave me? No words, no actions can bring you back My heart keeps breaking, wishing I knew the facts People say, “Move on, he lost a good thing” But my heart just aches, wishing you’d felt the same sting [Chorus] I don’t understand, why do I feel so rejected? One short month, but I feel so neglected Love reminds me how naïve I still am My mind says “move on,” but my heart gives a damn Swiping left, swiping right, chasing something whole But all I find are ghosts that can’t fill this hole This small moment in time left its mark on me Self-reflection just echoes of questions, no peace [Verse 2] I’ve met some faces, had some fleeting flings But nothing compares to the way you made me sing I know you weren’t the one, I know this wasn’t fate Still, I’m stuck processing the hurt and the weight I’ll take this pain and let it teach me well Every heartbreak’s a story, a truth to tell Love’s a game that’s cruel but worth the climb I’ll hold out for the one who’ll meet me in time [Chorus] I don’t understand, why do I feel so rejected? One short month, but I feel so neglected Love reminds me how naïve I still am My mind says “move on,” but my heart gives a damn Swiping left, swiping right, chasing something whole But all I find are ghosts that can’t fill this hole This small moment in time left its mark on me Self-reflection just echoes of questions, no peace [Outro] I know he’s out there, the one I’ll hold tight The one who’ll kiss my lips and make it all feel right It’s hard to see him now through this slow-motion pain But I’ll keep running, searching, through sunshine and rain Love takes its time; I’ll trust in the plan Even when it feels like I’m sinking in sand I’ll find my breath, I’ll learn to believe That one day love won’t leave me to grieve.
Headphones on, I feel the sound Music’s loud, it’s spinning ‘round Crazy voices inside my head Lifting me up, pulling me from the dead But in this moment, I see the stars Falling, dancing, crashing from Mars Electric motions move through my skin Your love’s the spark that pulls me in (Chorus) Headphones blasting, I’m lost in the sound Breathing deep, hearts start to pound Music so loud, it shakes the ground You turn to me, no words, just bound Haha, you want me under your skin Taking me closer, letting me in (Verse 2) Touch my body, love spins wild Dancing high, like a reckless child The rhythm’s fierce, it’s not who’ll win It’s the rush, the heat, the world we’re in Don’t stop now, don’t rush the time I’ll hold my breath, I’ll wait in line For this moment, I’ll let it in Feel the music, let the fire begin (Bridge) I learned to get only the best So light it up, let it burn, no rest Headphones scream, the beat’s alive I’m here with you, we’ll thrive, we’ll dive (Outro) Headphones on, the music’s our sin Dancing in circles, the world starts to spin Your love’s the drug that pulls me deep This sound is ours, awake or asleep
