I DIDN’T BREAK LOUD

(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
