Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) I wake up but I’m not awake A painted smile I have to fake The mirror knows I’m not okay But no one sees me slip away (Pre-Chorus) I laugh in all the quiet rooms To drown the thoughts that bloom too soon They say, “you’re strong,” I nod along But don’t know where the strength is gone (Chorus) Heavy is the silence in my mind Screaming thoughts I try to leave behind Tired of pretending I’m alright In this war, I fight alone each night Tell me, is there hope inside the dark? Can you fix a slowly breaking heart? (Verse 2) I count the cracks along the wall Each one a voice, I can’t recall If I reach out, will someone stay? Or will they just walk away? (Pre-Chorus) I smile when I’m falling apart Clutching shadows in my heart The daylight burns, the night is worse I’m living in a backwards curse (Chorus) Heavy is the silence in my mind Screaming thoughts I try to leave behind Tired of pretending I’m alright In this war, I fight alone each night Tell me, is there hope inside the dark? Can you fix a slowly breaking heart? (Bridge) If I could speak the words I hide Would you still stand here by my side? Or would the truth be far too loud And make you turn and fade into the crowd? (Final Chorus) Heavy is the silence in my mind But maybe I don’t have to lie this time Tired of pretending I’m alright I’ll let my scars show in the light Tell me, is there hope inside the dark? Can you hold a slowly healing heart?
