[Intro]
Silent tears fall in the night
Hidden pain out of sight
A voice that whispers, "Hold on tight"
In the darkness, I fight
[Verse 1]
They say real men don't cry, but my eyes tell a different story
Facing shadows alone, in this silent, hollowed glory
Dads and brothers, grandparents too, all hiding tears that fall
In a world that says be strong, but inside, we're crumbling walls
[Pre-Chorus]
Behind the smile, there's a storm, raging all alone
A flood that can't be contained, deep within my soul
Oh God, hear my cry, I can't deny, this pain I keep inside
Keep these feelings away from the light, before I lose my mind
[Chorus]
I'm crying out, in the dark, I can't escape
Feeling like I'm dying, praying for a better day
Break these chains, let me be free, no more hiding what I feel
In this silent plea, I just want to be real
[Bridge]
They expect me to be strong, to wear a brave disguise
But inside I'm breaking, tears falling from my eyes
God, hold me through the night, remind me I’m alive
In my weakness, I find my might, in tears, I survive
[Outro]
So here I stand, vulnerable and raw
Fighting battles that nobody saw
Crying out for love and peace, my soul begins to thaw
In this moment, I am free, I am who I am, flawed and whole
Feel these feelings, let them flow, healing starts inside my soul
