[Verse]
I told you 'bout the nights I can't sleep,
The shadows that haunt me, they cut so deep.
But you just shook your head, said, "Boy, be glad,
I've seen worse storms, it ain't that bad."
[Chorus]
They say my pain ain't worth the fight,
That their scars shine darker in the light.
But every tear, every crack I hide,
Feels like a mountain on this heart of mine.
[Verse]
I carry memories like a heavy chain,
Each link forged in fire, etched in pain.
But when I try to let the hurt slip through,
They remind me, "Son, we've hurt more than you."
[Chorus]
They say my pain ain't worth the fight,
That their scars shine darker in the light.
But every tear, every crack I hide,
Feels like a mountain on this heart of mine.
[Bridge]
Don't they see, it's not a race to win,
Pain ain't measured by the depth it's in.
I ain't asking for a medal or a crown,
Just someone to hear me when I'm breaking down.
[Verse]
So I keep it bottled, deep in my chest,
Swallowing the ache, trying my best.
But late at night, when the world turns still,
The echoes of their words cut deeper still.
