(Verse 1)
I woke up, did my chores, just like I always do
Sang my favorite songs to drown the quiet in the room
Laughed a little louder with some old familiar friends
Picked up dusty hobbies I used to love back then
(Pre-Chorus)
Played the piano, strummed a tune on my guitar
Wrote a little melody, pretending I’m a star
Had my favorite desserts, a sweet escape or two
Thought I’d done it all, but I still miss you
(Chorus)
‘Cause when the noise fades out and silence creeps in
The hurt I buried deep comes crawling back again
It’s getting worse, like a nightmare I can't shake
Even with my eyes wide open, I'm not awake
I wish it would just fade somehow
But wounds like these won’t let me out
(Verse 2)
I tried to paint my joy in colors bright and bold
Told myself I’m healing, that the pain was getting old
But in the mirror’s honesty, I see the hidden cracks
Smiling through the sadness, always holding something back
(Pre-Chorus)
Played the piano, strummed a tune on my guitar
Wrote a little melody, but it won’t reach that far
No dessert can sweeten what's bitter in my soul
I'm still pretending that I'm whole
(Chorus)
‘Cause when the noise fades out and silence creeps in
The hurt I buried deep comes crawling back again
It’s getting worse, like a nightmare I can't shake
Even with my eyes wide open, I'm not awake
I wish it would just fade somehow
But wounds like these won’t let me out
(Bridge)
Maybe someday I’ll breathe without the weight
Maybe time will dull what memory won’t erase
But tonight, I just need to cry it out
No more pretending, no more doubts
(Final Chorus)
When the noise fades out and silence creeps in
I’ll face the hurt that’s always been within
It's not gone, but I’ll learn to live through pain
One note at a time, in sunshine or in rain
And maybe it won’t fade right now
But wounds like these won’t break me down
(Outro)
I woke up, did my chores
Sang my song and a little more
Wounds still here, but I’m still around
And maybe that’s what healing sounds
