I dont talk about it

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.
