🎵 No One Ever Asked
---
[Verse 1]
Thirty and drifting, my brother’s a shadow
He left the house, but not the echo
He stays with Grandma, and Mom’s always near
While I’m left feeling quiet and unclear
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not the perfect, I’m not the star
But I’ve stayed afloat with every scar
Quiet in crowds, loud in my mind
Wishing this chaos would just leave me behind
---
[Chorus]
No one ever asked how I feel at night
Or why my smile doesn’t sit quite right
They all just assume that I’ll be okay
But I’m screaming inside almost every day
Trying my best, though I’m barely seen
Seventeen years in a war so unseen
All I want is peace, not to fall apart
But no one ever asked about my heart
---
[Verse 2]
Friends who were knives, wrapped in soft laughs
I thought it was teasing, now I see the past
They body-shamed, they mocked, they lied
And I stood there laughing, dying inside
Cut them off cold like a thread too tight
Now I’ve got two who hold me right
They show me the world’s not always so cruel
They remind me I’m more than just someone’s fool
---
[Verse 3 – Trio Falling Apart]
We were a trio, tight as a thread
But none of us saw where it all led
She liked a girl — we warned, she stayed
Day by day, she pulled away
She never had problems facing me
But hated my best friend silently
And how could I talk or try to pretend
With someone who hurt my closest friend?
I tried to fix what was torn apart
But some cracks run too deep for the heart
---
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I snap sometimes, and I talk too sharp
But I’m learning to soften this stormy heart
I regret, I reflect, I try to be kind
But it’s hard when you’re losing your peace of mind
---
[Chorus]
No one ever asked how I feel at night
Or why my smile doesn’t sit quite right
They all just assume that I’ll be okay
But I’m screaming inside almost every day
Trying my best, though I’m barely seen
Seventeen years in a war so unseen
All I want is peace, not to fall apart
But no one ever asked about my heart
---
[Bridge]
I’m not asking for a crown or flame
Just a little space, a break from the blame
I’m still growing, still learning to breathe
Can’t someone see what’s underneath?
---
[Final Chorus]
No one ever asked how I feel at night
But maybe one day, someone just might
And when they do, I hope they’ll stay
To help me wash the pain away
I'm still that teen trying to be strong
Trying to right what’s always been wrong
All I want is peace, a brand-new start
And someone who’ll ask about my heart
