Hiding in my shadow

Yeah...

I'm still standing, but nobody knows what I'm carrying.

I hide in my shadow, acting like I'm okay,

Smile on my face while I'm breaking every day.

Too many knives in my back from the people I called friends,

Now I question every promise, wondering where loyalty ends.

My heart's been shattered, every piece is on the floor,

I don't even recognize the person I was before.

Everybody says, "Just smile," like it's easy to pretend,

But the pain don't disappear when the daylight ends.

I'm hiding all my scars where nobody can see,

Trying to be someone that I used to be.

Broken heart, heavy soul, drowning silently,

I'm fighting every day... just to keep believing in me.

Depression got me feeling like I'm trapped inside my mind,

Searching for some peace, but it's impossible to find.

Every time I trust, it turns into another scar,

Now I'm building up these walls, hoping they don't fall apart.

It's hard to be happy when the darkness feels so loud,

Standing in a room but I still don't fit the crowd.

I'm just hoping one day all this hurt will finally fade,

'Til then I'm writing every tear into the words I've made.

Maybe healing takes time... maybe I'm not too far gone.

Maybe every broken soul can still find where they belong.

I'm hiding all my scars where nobody can see,

Trying to find the strength that's still inside of me.

Broken but I'm breathing, that's enough for now to see,

One more step, one more day... that's the fight inside of me.
