Lyrics

(Intro – very soft, almost whisper, distant)

I didn’t break loud…

I just… kept going

⸻

(Verse 1 – calm, controlled, hiding everything)

I stayed quiet, didn’t say a word

Acted normal like nothing hurt

Kept it moving, day to day

Like everything was okay

I didn’t show what I was feeling

Didn’t talk about the meaning

Of the weight inside my chest

I just carried it… like the rest

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 1 – subtle tension building)

No one saw it…

I didn’t let them

Got so used to hiding it

I couldn’t even tell them

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 2 – deeper, more personal)

I was tired but I kept that smile

Said “I’m good” every once in a while

Even when I felt myself slipping

I just stayed in denial

⸻

(Chorus – emotional but not loud, controlled pain)

I didn’t break loud

Didn’t make a sound

I was falling apart

But I held it down

I didn’t cry out

Didn’t let it show

I was losing myself

And they’d never know

⸻

(Verse 2 – inside vs outside contrast)

They saw me the same as always

Same face, same ways

Didn’t notice anything change

While I was stuck in my brain

I was gone but still right there

Physically here, but unaware

Living life on autopilot

Trying hard just to stay silent

⸻

(Flow – slight rap, soft rhythm)

In my head, never left that place

Same thoughts that I couldn’t escape

Didn’t speak, I just kept it in

Let it build underneath my skin

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 3 – emotional crack forming)

I was screaming but it stayed inside

Nowhere else for it to hide

Every time I almost said it

I just let the moment slide

⸻

(Pre-Chorus 4 – heavier realisation)

And the truth is I was breaking slow

But I never let it show

If I said it out loud

I don’t know where it would go

⸻

(Chorus – slightly stronger, more emotion)

I didn’t break loud

Didn’t make a sound

I was falling apart

But I held it down

I didn’t cry out

Didn’t let it show

I was losing myself

And they’d never know

⸻

(Bridge – emotional peak, voice cracks)

I can’t do this anymore…

But I never said it

I just bottled everything up

And tried to forget it

And the one that I needed the most

Didn’t see it like I hoped

I gave everything I had

Still felt alone…

⸻

(Break – stripped back, almost spoken)

Maybe if I said it sooner…

Maybe someone would’ve heard me

⸻

(Final Chorus – strongest, but still controlled)

I didn’t break loud

But I felt it all

Every silent night

Every quiet fall

I didn’t cry out

But it tore me down

I was screaming inside

Without a sound

⸻

(Outro – quiet, fading, heavy)

I didn’t break loud…

That’s why no one heard me
