Verse 1
There’s a crack in the drywall by the kitchen light
Where I threw my keys on a Friday night
Boots by the door, whiskey on ice
Radio playing something ‘bout a better life
Mama used to say, “Boy, let it out”
But silence feels safer than screaming loud
Got a heart full of storms and a head full of doubt
But I learned real young just to shut my mouth
Pre-Chorus
Yeah I laugh when I should cry
Say “I’m good” when it’s a lie
Chorus
I don’t talk about the nights I don’t sleep
Or the ghosts that sit shotgun next to me
I don’t say when the weight gets heavy
Or when goodbye cuts deep and steady
Just light another smoke and walk it off
Let the world think I’m tough as rock
If you ask me how I’ve been — I quit
‘Cause I don’t talk about it
Verse 2
Got a phone full of numbers I don’t call back
Every “you okay?” just fades to black
Barstool therapy, neon confessions
But I sip my pain like it’s just another lesson
She said, “Why you build walls so high?”
I shrugged my shoulders, changed the vibe
Truth is I’m scared if I let it slide
Everything I buried might come alive
Pre-Chorus
So I joke, change the scene
Keep my wounds where they ain’t seen
Chorus
I don’t talk about the nights I don’t sleep
Or the ghosts that sit shotgun next to me
I don’t say when the weight gets heavy
Or when goodbye cuts deep and steady
Just light another smoke and walk it off
Let the world think I’m tough as rock
If you ask me how I’ve been — I quit
‘Cause I don’t talk about it
Bridge
Maybe one day I’ll break down slow
Let somebody see what nobody knows
But right now I just keep driving on
With the radio loud and the feelings gone
Final Chorus
Yeah I don’t talk about the tears I hide
Or the wars I fight inside my mind
I don’t tell you how close I’ve been
To letting somebody finally in
Just roll these miles under my wheels
Pretend I don’t know how it feels
If you ask me how I’ve been — that’s it
I don’t talk about it
Outro
Engine humming, midnight sky
Some things you feel but never say out loud… just drive.
