Verse 1
There’s a kind of quiet that isn’t peace
It settles in your chest, won’t let you breathe
At the end of a long, long day
When you gave it all away
You showed up for everyone else
Gave pieces of yourself
Then you look around the room
And no one showed up for you
Pre-Chorus
And it echoes in the dark
Like a voice without a sound
Chorus
Silence…
Painful, deafening silence
Endless and cruel
Like it swallows you whole
Silence…
Not the kind that brings you peace
Just the kind that makes you wonder
If anybody sees
⸻
Verse 2
This isn’t about attention
Or needing too much love
It’s about being remembered
When you’re the one who always does
It’s about effort
Being seen
Not fading in between
Hoping someone somewhere thinks
“Hey… how’s she doing?”
Pre-Chorus
‘Cause the strongest hearts still break
When nobody checks their weight
⸻
Chorus
Silence…
Painful, deafening silence
Endless and cruel
Like it swallows you whole
Silence…
Not the kind that brings you peace
Just the kind that makes you question
If anybody sees
⸻
Bridge
I check in, I show up
Even when my cup’s run dry
With one last drop, I give it up
I never ask why
I’ve always been that person
The one who stays, who tries
So why does it feel like
I disappear sometimes?
⸻
Break (soft / stripped)
But you… you matter
Even here in the middle
You’re not invisible
⸻
Final Chorus (lift)
Silence…
It don’t get to define you
Even when it feels
Like nobody can find you
Silence…
You’re still worthy of love
Of being held, being seen
Of someone showing up
⸻
Outro
So if you’re out there tonight
Feeling like no one cares
It’s okay to not be okay
In the middle…
You’re not alone there.
