I smile in the daylight, break in the dark
Carry these feelings deep in my heart
Everyone thinks that I’m doing just fine
But they don’t see the wars in my mind
I try to be strong, I try not to fall
But sometimes the weight gets too heavy to hold
Every “I’m okay” is a practiced lie
Hiding the tears in the back of my eyes
Pre-Chorus
I’m walking on cracks in a shattered road
Trying to carry this heavy load
Praying for peace in a world so loud
Trying not to let my fears scream out
Chorus
These are my quiet battles, my hidden scars
Fighting myself under shining stars
Even when hope feels out of reach
I’m learning how to believe in me
I might be tired, I might be afraid
But I’m still here and I’m not ashamed
These are my quiet battles tonight
But I’m still holding onto the light
Verse 2
Pressure keeps knocking on every door
Asking me who I’m doing this for
Trying to live up to all their dreams
But I’m losing sleep over unrealistic things
I wanna breathe, I wanna feel free
Not just chase who they want me to be
I’m finding my voice in the broken sound
Learning to stand when I’m falling down
Pre-Chorus
I’m walking on cracks in a shattered road
Trying to carry this heavy load
Praying for peace in a world so loud
Trying not to let my fears scream out
Chorus
These are my quiet battles, my hidden scars
Fighting myself under shining stars
Even when hope feels out of reach
I’m learning how to believe in me
I might be tired, I might be afraid
But I’m still here and I’m not ashamed
These are my quiet battles tonight
But I’m still holding onto the light
Bridge
One day I’ll look back and see how far I came
All of this pain won’t be wasted pain
Every storm taught me how to stand
Every tear helped me understand
Final Chorus
These are my quiet battles, my hidden scars
Now I’m learning how strong we are
Even when the dark surrounds my sight
I’ll be the spark in my own night
I might be tired, but I won’t fade
I’m still here and I’m not afraid
These are my quiet battles tonight
But I’m still choosing the light ✨
