Silence Don’t Love Back

Verse 1
Been sittin’ in this quiet like a ghost that never learned to fade
Four walls hummin’ with the secrets that I never meant to say
Got a heartbeat like a war drum, but it’s buried in my chest
And the world keeps spinnin’ past me like it never even guessed

Pre‑Chorus
I keep reachin’ for a light that don’t remember how to shine
Tryna find a little mercy in a world that ain’t got time

Chorus
’Cause the silence don’t love back, it just echoes when I cry
And the darkness holds me tighter than the truth I try to hide
I’ve been beggin’ for a place where someone sees the soul I lack
But the world is cold and cruel, and the silence don’t love back

Verse 2
I’ve been walkin’ through the shadows with a voice that’s torn and raw
Half a growl, half a prayer, half a man who’s seen too much to talk
Every dream I ever carried turned to dust inside my hands
But I still keep hopin’ someone out there understands

Pre‑Chorus
I keep reachin’ for a fire that remembers how to burn
Tryna find a little kindness in a place that never learns

Chorus
’Cause the silence don’t love back, it just echoes when I cry
And the darkness holds me tighter than the truth I try to hide
I’ve been beggin’ for a place where someone sees the soul I lack
But the world is cold and cruel, and the silence don’t love back

Bridge
But somewhere in the quiet, there’s a whisper in my bones
Says the love I’ve been chasin’ starts with standin’ on my own
And maybe if I rise up from the ashes of my past
I’ll find the kind of strength that finally loves me back

Final Chorus
Yeah, the silence don’t love back, but I’m learnin’ how to fight
With a heartbeat like a thunder rollin’ through the dead of night
I’ve been searchin’ for the world to give me what I never had
But I’m findin’ in myself the love the silence never had
