[Verse]
Woke up feelin’ heavy, though the sky was clear,
The sun came out but it stopped right here.
Coffee went cold in my shakin’ hands,
Heart beatin’ fast — no one understands.
I put on my boots, fake that smile again,
Say “I’m alright” to my family and friends.
But deep in my chest, there’s a thunder rollin’,
And I can’t stop the storm that’s slowly growin’.
[Chorus]
There’s a storm behind my eyes,
You won’t see it if you try.
I laugh, I talk, I play the part,
While the rain is floodin’ through my heart.
Out here I might seem calm and wise,
But there’s a storm…
Behind my eyes.
[Verse]
Feels like I’m drownin’ in an empty room,
Chokin’ on silence, swallowed by gloom.
I wish I could name it, I wish I could run,
But it follows me like the setting sun.
No lightning flash, no thunder cry,
Just the quiet pressure of a loaded sky.
And I’m holdin’ it in ‘til I break apart,
Still smilin’ like a work of art.
[Chorus]
There’s a storm behind my eyes,
You won’t see it if you try.
I laugh, I talk, I play the part,
While the rain is floodin’ through my heart.
Out here I might seem calm and wise,
But there’s a storm…
Behind my eyes.
[Bridge – Soft, Barely Above a Whisper]
It ain’t your fault you can’t see the clouds,
I hide them well — I’ve practiced how.
But I’m so tired of the silent fight,
Prayin’ for peace in the middle of night…
[Chorus – Strong, Cracking Voice]
There’s a storm behind my eyes,
And I’m breakin’ in disguise.
I smile, I nod, I blend in fine,
But I’m barely holdin’ this fragile line.
If I seem strong, it’s just my lies—
There’s a storm…
Behind my eyes.
[Outro – Fading Slowly]
There’s a storm…
And it’s mine.
