(Moody piano, heavy bass, soft hi-hats)
[Verse 1]
I’ve been quiet in rooms that used to feel like home
Pretendin’ I’m fine but I’m breakin’ alone
Every smile I wear just cover the cracks
Every laugh I fake just hide what I lack
They see the light but not the weight I bear
They hear my words but they don’t care
I’m drownin’ slow in my own mind
Wish I could leave the pain behind
[Pre-Chorus]
If they knew the truth they’d walk away
So I keep my hurt where shadows stay
Every tear just falls unseen
Like a ghost inside a dream
[Chorus]
I’m alone inside, can’t nobody feel this ache
Feelin’ empty though I give all I can take
Got a heart full of thunder, but it never rains
Just echoes of love that turned to pain
I’m alone inside, but I still try to breathe
Holdin’ onto hope that won’t leave me
If I fall tonight, just know I tried
But I’m still alone inside
[Verse 2]
There’s a war between my heart and my head
One say live, the other wishin’ I was dead
I cover the silence with music and prayer
But the silence always find me there
I talk to God but I don’t hear a sound
I beg for peace but it don’t come around
So I close my eyes and fake my sleep
Cause dreams the only place I’m free
[Pre-Chorus]
If they knew the truth they’d walk away
So I keep my hurt where shadows stay
Every tear just falls unseen
Like a ghost inside a dream
[Chorus]
I’m alone inside, can’t nobody feel this ache
Feelin’ empty though I give all I can take
Got a heart full of thunder, but it never rains
Just echoes of love that turned to pain
I’m alone inside, but I still try to breathe
Holdin’ onto hope that won’t leave me
If I fall tonight, just know I tried
But I’m still alone inside
[Bridge]
I don’t wanna keep pretending
But I’m scared of what’s underneath
So I hide behind my melody
Cause that’s the only way I speak
I’m human, I’m broken, but still I sing
Prayin’ the world will hear the real me
[Final Chorus]
I’m alone inside, but I’ll find my light
Even if it’s dim, I’ll hold it tight
These tears might fall, but I’ll be alright
One day my soul gon’ feel alive
I’m alone inside, but I still try to breathe
Holdin’ onto hope that won’t leave me
If I fade away, don’t say goodbye
I’m still here, just alone inside
(Soft piano outro, heartbeat rhythm fades into silence)
