Prompt / Lyrics
Unsilenced (The Voice You Couldn’t Keep)” Verse 1 I learned to whisper, not to speak Hide the truth inside of me Every bruise I couldn’t show Every “yes” that meant a “no” Smiling like I’m doing fine While I’m breaking every night If I said it out loud Would it even make a sound? Pre-Chorus ‘Cause nobody asked, nobody stayed I got used to being afraid Chorus Silence kept me safe back then Or at least that’s what I said If I told the truth, would I fall apart? Or just lose what little I had left in my heart? I was holding on to pain Like it loved me just the same Didn’t know how to let it go When fear’s the only home I know Verse 2 You held me close, then pulled away Taught my heart to beg you to stay Every time I tried to leave You’d become what I would need You showed me things I didn’t choose Said “this is just what people do” I felt stuck, I couldn’t move Didn’t know what I could lose Pre-Chorus I spoke up once, but no one heard Like my voice got lost in words Chorus Silence kept me safe back then Or at least that’s what I said If I told the truth, would I disappear? Or finally see it all crystal clear? I was holding on to pain Like it knew me, knew my name Didn’t know how to let it go When fear’s the only home I know Bridge (builds into your title) I felt stuck inside my skin Like I’d never win I had no voice, even when I tried And when I spoke… that’s when it got bad But something’s breaking through the fear Every word is finally clear This is me, I’m standing here… Unsilenced.
