[Verse 1]
I lie awake in the dark
Counting cracks in the wall
The room gets loud when you leave
And I feel so small
My hands keep reaching for air
Like they know your name
I keep my face to the floor
Tryin' to hide the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm afraid of the silence
When I'm alone
My heart keeps knocking
On a locked-up home
I can't keep pretending
I'm fine on my own
If I break in the quiet
Will you still hold me close?
[Chorus]
Silence breaks
When you call my name
Silence breaks
And I don't feel the same
I can't do this anymore
I need a light in the pain
Silence breaks
Silence breaks
(Oh, hold me close)
(Oh, don't let go)
[Verse 2]
The mirror knows all my lies
It don't look away
I wore a brave little smile
For the whole damn day
But the floor feels colder at night
When the door clicks shut
I keep a tremble in my chest
Like I'm not enough
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm afraid of the silence
When I'm alone
My heart keeps knocking
On a locked-up home
I can't keep pretending
I'm fine on my own
If I break in the quiet
Will you still hold me close?
[Chorus]
Silence breaks
When you call my name
Silence breaks
And I don't feel the same
I can't do this anymore
I need a light in the pain
Silence breaks
Silence breaks
(Stay with me)
(Stay with me)
[Bridge]
If I reach for your hand
Don't turn away
I've been carrying thunder
Since yesterday
And if I lose my footing
Pull me back in
I don't want to disappear
I want to begin
[Final Chorus]
Silence breaks
When you call my name
Silence breaks
And I don't feel the same
I can't do this anymore
But I'm still here today
Silence breaks
Silence breaks
(Oh, hold me close)
(Oh, don't let go)
