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
