Lyrics
[Intro — distant crowd fades away]
[Stage curtain closes]
[Silence]
[Soft piano begins]
[Akari — quiet]
It’s so quiet…
when everybody goes home.
[Verse 1 — intimate vocals]
I know the girl beneath the lights
The one who always gets it right
Perfect smile, steady hands
Always knowing where to stand
She learned to sparkle on command
Turn every scar into something grand
But when the room is finally still
I wonder if they know me still
[Pre-Chorus — soft strings enter]
When the makeup fades
And the lights go down
When there’s nobody
Left around
No applause
No name to call
Would you recognize me…
Without it all?
[Chorus — emotional, restrained]
After the curtain
After the show
There’s a side of me
Nobody knows
No diamonds shining
No fire to hold
Just a heart still learning
How to grow
After the curtain
I don’t have to pretend
I can just breathe…
And be me again.
[Verse 2 — delicate vocals]
I’ve worn a thousand different faces
Left little pieces in different places
The fearless one, the one who fights
The one who learned to love the night
Some days I’m strong
Some days I’m scared
Some days I need somebody there
Maybe every version that I’ve been
Was always really me within
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t have to choose
Which one is true
Every road I walked
Still led me through
Every mask
Every scar
Every version…
Brought me this far.
[Chorus — warmer]
After the curtain
After the show
I’m still the girl
I’ve always known
No perfect answers
No role to play
I can be unfinished
And still be okay
After the curtain
When everything ends
I meet myself…
All over again.
[Bridge — piano only]
[Akari — almost whispered]
Maybe I’m not fearless.
Maybe I never was.
[Pause]
Maybe courage was just…
being afraid…
and going anyway.
[Soft breath]
The girl I was…
The girl I am…
The woman I’m becoming…
[Pause]
I think I finally understand.
[Final Chorus — gentle strings, emotional vocals]
After the curtain
When lights disappear
I can hear my own voice
A little more clear
Every shadow
Every flame
Every road
Every name
They were never different girls…
They were all me.
[Music begins fading]
[Outro — piano only]
No audience.
No spotlight.
No performance.
[Long silence]
[Akari exhales]
[Small, genuine laugh]
There I am.
[Single piano note]
[End]
