Who Am I to Hold This Dream

Verse 1

I walked in through the glass doors

Everybody knows my name but not my face

They hand me the microphone and a gold clock

I smile and I take my place

But under all the bright applause

There's a quiet voice I can't unhear

It counts my slips and counts the pause

And whispers this was never yours

Pre-Chorus

Somebody's gonna find out

Somebody's gonna look close

And see the girl who faked it

Painted on the stage in ghost

Chorus

I keep waiting for the curtain to fall

For someone to pull the thread and see the seam

I keep building all these walls so tall

Who am I to hold this light, this dream

Who am I to hold this dream

Verse 2

They ask me how I got here

I tell them luck and long late nights

But I rewound the same mistake

And hid the panic from the lights

I keep a list of every small misstep

A ledger of my own defeat

While strangers call my name out loud

I'm shaking in the empty street

Pre-Chorus

Somebody's gonna know now

Somebody's gonna come clean

The verdict's written somewhere

In a room I've never seen

Chorus

I keep waiting for the curtain to fall

For someone to pull the thread and see the seam

I keep building all these walls so tall

Who am I to hold this light, this dream

Who am I to hold this dream

Bridge

Maybe I'm the only one

Who's checking for a fingerprint

Maybe everyone is borrowing

The glow they never meant

Chorus

I keep waiting for the curtain to fall

For someone to pull the thread and see the seam

I keep building all these walls so tall

Who am I to hold this light, this dream

Who am I to hold this dream
