Armour

Verse 1

I wore a smile like armor, shining in the light,

Told the world I’m fine, every single night.

Hands were shaking quietly behind my back,

I knew I was fading, but I stayed on track.

Every “I’m okay” was a whispered lie,

Watching all the chances for relief pass by.

Pre-Chorus

I heard the voices saying, you don’t have to fall alone,

But pride can build a prison out of stone.

Chorus

Now I’m wishing I had reached out,

When the weight was on my chest.

I was drowning in the silence,

Trying to outlast the rest.

I was screaming in my head,

But my lips refused to speak.

I regret the nights I needed help

And chose to stay so weak.

Verse 2

Friends were right beside me, open doors and open hands,

I built invisible walls they couldn’t understand.

I thought strength meant never bending, never showing cracks,

But strength was in the courage that I lacked.

Every tear I hid just carved a deeper scar,

I kept pretending I was stronger than I was.

Pre-Chorus

I replay the moments, all the words I didn’t say,

Echoes of a softer, kinder way.

Chorus

Now I’m wishing I had reached out,

When the weight was on my chest.

I was drowning in the silence,

Trying to outlast the rest.

I was screaming in my head,

But my lips refused to speak.

I regret the nights I needed help

And chose to stay so weak.

Bridge

If I could go back, I’d open up the door,

Let the light spill across the floor.

I’d trade a thousand “I’m fines” for one honest plea,

Because maybe someone could’ve rescued me.

Maybe I could’ve rescued me.

Final Chorus

Now I’m learning how to reach out,

Even when my voice might shake.

There’s a different kind of bravery

In admitting when you break.

I can’t rewrite the past,

But I can change the road I seek—

No more silent battles

When I’m hurting, when I’m weak.

Outro

Regret is a teacher with a heavy hand,

But hope is the lesson I finally understand.

I don’t have to carry every storm alone—

Even the strongest hearts need a place called home.
