(Verse 1)
I wake up but Iโm not awake
A painted smile I have to fake
The mirror knows Iโm 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, โyouโre strong,โ I nod along
But donโt know where the strength is gone
(Chorus)
Heavy is the silence in my mind
Screaming thoughts I try to leave behind
Tired of pretending Iโm 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 canโt recall
If I reach out, will someone stay?
Or will they just walk away?
(Pre-Chorus)
I smile when Iโm falling apart
Clutching shadows in my heart
The daylight burns, the night is worse
Iโm living in a backwards curse
(Chorus)
Heavy is the silence in my mind
Screaming thoughts I try to leave behind
Tired of pretending Iโm 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 donโt have to lie this time
Tired of pretending Iโm alright
Iโll let my scars show in the light
Tell me, is there hope inside the dark?
Can you hold a slowly healing heart?
