Things I never say out loud

Verse 1

I’ve been walking with a shadow I don’t talk about,

Carrying the weight of things I never let out.

Smile on my face but I’m breaking inside,

I’m a locked‑up room with no place to hide.

Pre‑Chorus

I tell myself I’m fine, but I know that’s a lie,

Some days I’m just trying to survive.

Chorus

These are the things I never say out loud —

The fears that choke me, the thoughts too proud.

The nights I crumble, the days I drown,

The moments I wish someone would pull me out.

I act like steel, but I’m wearing down —

These are the things I never say out loud.

Verse 2

I’ve been running from the mirror like it’s hunting me,

Afraid of the reflection I don’t want to see.

I’m tired of pretending I’m stronger than the pain,

When half the time I’m barely holding on to my own name.

Pre‑Chorus

I tell myself I’m fine, but I know that’s a lie,

Some days I’m just trying to survive.

Chorus

These are the things I never say out loud —

The fears that choke me, the thoughts too proud.

The nights I crumble, the days I drown,

The moments I wish someone would pull me out.

I act like steel, but I’m wearing down —

These are the things I never say out loud.

Bridge

Maybe speaking it won’t make me weak,

Maybe honesty is what I need.

Maybe letting go is how I breathe,

Maybe this is how I finally speak.

Final Chorus

These are the things I never say out loud —

But maybe it’s time I let them out.

The nights I crumble, the days I drown,

The parts of me I’ve always pushed down.

I’m learning now that it’s okay to feel —

These are the truths I’m finally letting heal.
