Verse 1

I press play on a life that ain’t mine

Silk robes, slow scenes, lost in time

Palace walls and a whispered name

Every glance like a burning flame

I’m just here in a quiet room

Same old walls, same afternoon

But my heart don’t live in this place

It’s chasing someone I can’t replace

Pre-Chorus

I see her in the mirror, but she don’t feel like me

She’s tired, she’s older, she’s fading quietly

Chorus

I wanna be rewritten in silk and shadows

Where love cuts deep and nobody knows

Where a cold-eyed man would fall for me

Like I’m the only thing he’ll ever need

I wanna trip into a different scene

Be the shy girl in a CEO dream

Where he says my name like it’s destiny

Not just another memory

But I’m stuck between what is and what could be

Watching Liu Xiaoxu on a glowing screen

Wishing somehow he’d look through me

Verse 2

He walks in like he owns the air

Sharp black suit, that distant stare

And I’m the girl who can’t speak right

But somehow I’m his only light

Or I’m running through a painted sky

Hair undone, letting arrows fly

A kingdom falls, but he won’t leave

He’d burn it all just to keep me

Pre-Chorus

In every story, I get to be

Someone fearless, someone free

Chorus

I wanna be rewritten in silk and shadows

Where love cuts deep and nobody knows

Where a cold-eyed man would fall for me

Like I’m the only thing he’ll ever need

I wanna trip into a different scene

Be the shy girl in a CEO dream

Where he says my name like it’s destiny

Not just another memory

But I’m stuck between what is and what could be

Watching him love someone that’s not me

Wishing somehow I could break the screen

Bridge

Maybe it’s not him I’m chasing

Maybe it’s the girl I’ve been erasing

The one who still believes in more

In open hearts and closing doors

Maybe I just miss the feeling

Of a life that’s still revealing

Something wild, something new

Something I once almost knew

Final Chorus (soft → powerful)

I wanna be rewritten—just for a moment

Feel that fire, not just the echo of it

Be the girl who gets the scene

Not the one behind the screen

I don’t need a crown or throne

Just a heart that feels like home

But tonight I’ll dream in borrowed light

And let those stories hold me tight
