Didn't say this out loud

TITLE: "I Didn’t Say This Out Loud"
[Verse 1 – quiet, almost spoken]
I don’t talk about the nights I left of me
I didn’t say this out loud…
But I’m barely holding on
[Verse 2 – deeper, more personal]
I’ve been tired in a way that sleep won’t ever fix
Like my soul’s worn thin from carrying all this
Every “I’m okay” just another quiet lie
I’ve been dying just to feel something inside
And I don’t need saving, I just need release
From the war that’s been living inside of me
[Pre-Chorus – stronger this time]
Yeah I’m done pretending I’m alright
I’m done hiding from the fight
[Chorus – bigger]
I didn’t say this out loud… but I’m breaking down
Yeah I carry the weight, but it’s crushing me now
If I let it all out… would I finally breathe?
Or find out there’s nothing left of me
I didn’t say this out loud…
But I’m screaming underneath
[Bridge – stripped, fragile, REAL]
If I fall apart… don’t look away
This is who I’ve been… every day
Not a ghost, not gone… just buried deep
Under promises I couldn’t keep
(whisper this line)
I just wanted peace…
[Final Chorus – full release]
I’m saying it out loud… I’ve been breaking down
Yeah I carried the weight, but I’m letting it out
If I shatter right here… maybe I’ll be free
Maybe there’s still something left of me
I’m saying it out loud…
I’m still here somehow
[Outro – soft, cracked voice]
Still here…
Still breathing…
Still speaking ,still thinking,still me
