Becoming Someone

[Piano solo - soulful, introspective] 

[Verse 1]

She stands in the glass with a practiced smile,

Tailored words, every move in style.

Walks like she’s certain, talks like she knows,

But wonders how far the illusion goes.

[Chorus]

Fake it till you make it, they always said,

But who am I now with this mask instead?

Will I wake up and find I belong,

Or just be someone I made all along?

[Verse 2]

Each step forward, another piece fades,

The girl in the mirror is slipping away.

Every applause, every nod, every cheer,

Sounds like an echo of someone not here.

[Chorus]

Fake it till you make it, they always said,

But who am I now with this mask instead?

Will I wake up and find I belong,

Or just be someone I made all along?

[Bridge] 

Maybe the lie becomes the truth,

Maybe the mask becomes my face.

But if I forget the one I was,

Did I ever make it in the first place?

[Piano solo - rising tension, emotional weight] 

[Outro]

So she walks on, head held high,

With borrowed strength, unsure why.

One more step, one more day,

But is she making it, or fading away?

[Piano solo - haunting, unresolved fade-out]
