When the noise fades

Verse 1

When the noise fades and the crowd goes home

And the silence chills me to the bone

I lay awake with the things I hide

All the words I swallow deep inside

There’s a weight I carry in my chest

Every doubt I never confessed

In the dark where the truth won’t lie

I finally let myself cry

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’ve been strong for everyone but me

Built a wall they couldn’t see

But strength don’t mean I don’t break

Sometimes faith is just what it takes

⸻

Chorus (Slow, Soaring, Emotional)

When the noise fades away

And I’ve got nothing left to say

I’m still standing here in the quiet

With my fears laid bare

If the lights all fall

And the echoes call

Through the hollow in my heart

You’re still there

⸻

Verse 2

I’ve chased shadows across my mind

Trying to leave the past behind

But every scar still speaks my name

Reminds me I’m not the same

And maybe healing isn’t loud

Maybe it’s kneeling in the doubt

Learning broken doesn’t mean

I’m beyond redeeming

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I don’t have to carry it alone

Every crack has shown

There’s a light beneath the ache

Even walls can shake

⸻

Chorus (Build Bigger)

When the noise fades away

And I’ve got nothing left to say

I’m still breathing in the silence

With my heart laid bare

If the lights all fall

And the night stands tall

Through the hollow in my heart

You’re still there

⸻

Bridge (Cinematic Lift)

If I fall to my knees tonight

Let the tears turn into light

Every whisper in the dark

Is just a spark

I was never meant to fight alone

Never meant to stand on stone

Grace was waiting in the air

Even there

(Drums begin to build…)

⸻

Final Chorus (Soaring, Layered)

When the noise fades away

And I’ve got nothing left to say

I’m not lost in the silence

You’re still there

When the lights all fall

Through the rise and fall

In the quiet of my heart

You’re still there

(Soft tag)

When the noise fades…

You’re still there.
