Scars That Don’t Speak
(Verse 1)
Late night shadows on my bedroom wall
Every thought inside my head gets loud
Tryna fight a storm nobody sees at all
Smiling in a crowd while I’m breaking down
And every mirror shows a stranger’s face
Tired eyes and tears I never let escape
I keep carrying this weight alone
Like nobody hears me when I say I’m not okay
(Pre-Chorus)
I was looking for a way to feel
Anything besides this hurt that’s real
(Chorus)
But these scars don’t speak the words I hide
They don’t show the wars I fight inside
I don’t wanna fade into the dark tonight
I just wanna know I’ll be alright
If somebody hears this broken melody
Tell me pain ain’t all I’m meant to be
’Cause I’m still holding on somehow
Even when the light burns out
(Verse 2)
Friends keep saying “you’ll be fine someday”
But someday feels so far from here
I been drowning in the things I never say
Tryna disappear beneath my fear
But a small voice underneath the pain
Keeps whispering tomorrow could still change
Maybe healing isn’t quick or clean
Maybe staying here is stronger than it seems
(Pre-Chorus)
I was searching for a way to heal
Something honest, something real
(Chorus)
’Cause these scars don’t speak the words I hide
They don’t show the wars I fight inside
I don’t wanna fade into the dark tonight
I just wanna know I’ll be alright
If somebody hears this broken melody
Tell me pain ain’t all I’m meant to be
’Cause I’m still holding on somehow
Even when the light burns out
(Bridge)
And if tomorrow comes
I’ll try again
One more sunrise
One more chance to mend
Maybe hope is small
But it’s enough to breathe
Enough to keep a piece of me
(Final Chorus)
These scars won’t be the end of me
They’re just proof I survived what I couldn’t speak
And maybe one day I will finally see
The person underneath all this grief
So if somebody feels the way I do tonight
You don’t gotta fight alone this time
Hold on through the darkest part
There’s still a beat inside your heart
