[Verse 1]
I wake up tired before the day begins
Sunlight on my face but it never gets in
I laugh on cue
Yeah
I hit my mark
No one sees the war I fight in the dark
[Chorus]
Quiet doesn’t mean okay
I’m just good at looking brave
Every “I’m fine” hides a tidal wave
Can you hear me when I don’t say
Quiet doesn’t mean okay
[Verse 2]
I cancel plans
Blame the busy week
Scroll ’til my eyes burn
Still I hardly sleep
I’m right there with you
Then I fade away
Like I left the room but my body stayed
[Chorus]
Quiet doesn’t mean okay
I’m just good at looking brave
Every “I’m fine” hides a tidal wave
Can you hear me when I don’t say
Quiet doesn’t mean okay
[Bridge]
Would you stay if I stopped pretending
If the mask slipped off for a second (yeah)
If my silence shook the room
Would you sit here in it too?
[Chorus]
Quiet doesn’t mean okay
I’m so tired of acting brave
Every “I’m fine” is a swallowed quake
If I fall apart in front of you today
Will you know that
Quiet doesn’t mean okay
