[Verse]
Grew up in pews with a preacher for a dad
Told folks 'bout Jesus, but inside I was mad
He was saving the world, too tired for me
So I learned to be silent, learned not to need
Smiled for the crowd, played the good son
But I buried my joy when the pressure begun
[Chorus]
And I’m crying in the silence, still praying through the night
Trying to believe there’s a reason for the fight
I’ve got God, I’ve got faith, but I still feel alone
With no one beside me to help carry me home
I’m bruised and I’m broken, but I’m still holding on
[Bridge]
I’ve loved and I’ve lost, I’ve fallen and bled
Hurt myself just to feel, battled voices in my head
But through all the numbness, the ache, and the fear
I whisper to Heaven, “God, are You near?”
[Chorus – Reprise]
Still crying in the silence, still waiting on the light
Still hoping through the shadows, still learning how to fight
I’ve got God, I’ve got hope, though it cuts to the bone
I’m scarred but not shattered—I’m still holding on
