They ask Why do I write like my hands are on fire
Like each word’s a rope pulling me higher
They ask Why do I spill every thought in my chest
To quiet the noise that won’t let me rest
They ask why I carve my name in the sky
Why I sing to the stars before they die
So I’m not forgotten,To leave my echoes where no feet can stand To leave my memories
When God takes my hand Each line’s a lighthouse when I’m adrift Each note’s a bridge over every riff,I write to remember what they erased
To leave my voice in an empty space,Let the songs I wrote remain a ghost of the joy and a trace of the pain,Every verse a fingerprint in the dust,
a cry to the silence a plea for trust,They ask why I sing all night long Why words keep spilling Wrong or right,
They Ask Why my hands ache from chasing lines
Why I bleed chords like borrowed time,They cheer for my perfection while the cracks are tucked away Behind the frame of beauty where the truth will never stay,stories in the shadows never meet their eyes,If it’s not for them it’s not Worth my pain,They cheer for my sunshine but they won’t stand my rain,They love the words when they fit just right they’ll never hold the pen that bleeds through every fight,They crave the pretty verses not the scars that made them real,As long as it’s for them they love the pain i feel,they love my flawless image love the sweet disguise,They love the tune not the tears that make it fly,As long as the song is written just for their embrace they sing along but never see the cracks upon my face,They don’t see what I see They don’t feel what’s in me
They ask why I write like my hands are on fire,They ask why my heart won’t rest Why I write and hum the pain I can’t confess,
They ask Why my voice shakes but never quits,why my heart bleeds through the pen my ink spills,
They ask Why I cling to melodies that fit,They don’t hear what I hear,They don’t know what I fear,the songs I write stay when the room is empty holds my hand gets me through when no one knew,the songs I write will never leave me like they always do
