Steve Hong - Look Closer

The sky's darkening
(On my own, I'm feeling free again)
The moon is brightening again
(I no longer have to pretend)
Now that I'm alone
Here I find my home
My truth begins to show
My strength is shedding
(Why do I act like I'm fine?)
My disguise is lifting
My tears flow, again
And to all those looking in...

Oh won't you look a bit closer, you'll past my smile (Past my smile)
Because the pain's been there for a while
Oh won't you listen closer, behind all the laughter
You'll hear my cries
Has no one told you I'm barely breathing?
These are the words of a man who's broken
This is who I am, unspoken

Take, take, take a look closer
Just Look a bit closer
Take, take, take a look closer
Just Look a bit closer

I care even when I act like I don't
And I'm hurt all the time, but I'm just acting like I'm fine
Cause they tell me "Calm down, everything is going to be alright"
Even though everything's telling me that I'm about to break inside

But then something tells me, that I got to find the will to be strong
Because I ain't the only one who's been in pain for so long
And then something tells me that the ones who love me
I'm the one they're counting on
So if you're hurting, just feel me through this song
Oh look closer (look closer)
And maybe you'll see you're not alone after all

I dedicate this song to all of us who truly feel alone in our own way
As I'm someone who tries to hide my pain every day
And if you ever feel like giving up, I want to share with you that I'm just as vulnerable too
Let this song be our connection, our strength, our understanding between me and you
