Beneath the Surface

[Verse] Beneath the surface of my eyes Are fears and failures you can’t see I hide the shadows in my mind I hide away my dreams Behind the veils that guard my heart Veils that cover what’s inside I just cannot let you in My walls are way too high [Chorus] My heart beats quietly inside me While my spirit yearns to live But I hide beneath the surface Holding what I cannot give All the good and bad inside me That I don’t want you to see What I keep beneath the surface Is the secret part of me [Verse] Don’t know that you’ll want to know me If you see the truth inside If you get to see the real me Won’t like what you find But you break down my defences And you get into my heart Though I try to hide my truth You rip the veil apart [Chorus] My heart beats quietly inside me While my spirit yearns to live But I hide beneath the surface Holding what I cannot give All the good and bad inside me That I don’t want you to see What I keep beneath the surface Is the secret part of me [Bridge] I no longer need to hide There’s no need for me to fear You’ve uncovered all of me And you’re still here [Chorus] Every heartbeat now reminds me Of the life I have to live I will rise above the surface There’s so much of me to give All the good and bad inside me Are the parts you get to see I won’t hide beneath the surface If you’ll stay here with me ~~~~~~~~~~ Lyrics, visuals and concept: Mel Leonard (https://www.youtube.com/@LumiVerseCreations) Instrumental and vocal generation powered by Suno AI (Visit https://www.suno.ai to learn more) Image and video generation powered by Night Café (https://creator.nightcafe.studio/explore) and/or FlexClip (https://www.flexclip.com/editor/ai-tools) © 2026 Melanie Leonard.
