[Verse 1 – Singer B]  
I heard the things you never said, they echoed in the dark,
All the half‑built truths and the slow‑burn sparks,
You think I didn’t notice how you shook when you breathed,
Like you were scared that if you spoke, you’d finally be seen.

[Pre‑Chorus – A & B, alternating lines]  
A: I never meant to disappear.
B: I never meant to let you.
A: I held my breath for far too long.
B: I held the silence with you.

[Chorus – Both]  
And now I’m choking on the things I never said out loud,
Every whisper turning into something way too loud,
I tried to hide the truth but it keeps breaking through,
And all the things I never said are screaming back at you.

[Verse 2 – Singer A]  
I kept pretending I was fine, like it didn’t weigh me down,
But every quiet moment felt like I was gonna drown,
You asked me what was wrong, I said “nothing, I’m okay,”
But the truth was in the tremble I could never give away.

[Verse 2 – Singer B]  
I saw the cracks inside your voice, the ones you tried to hide,
The way you folded into shadows when you didn’t want to fight,
You think you’re hard to read but you’re written in the sky,
And every line you never spoke is still asking me why.

[Pre‑Chorus – A & B, overlapping]  
A: I didn’t want to break you.
B: You didn’t have to save me.
A: I thought the quiet made me strong.
B: But it only drove us crazy.

[Bridge – Call & Response]  
A: I should’ve told you everything.
B: I should’ve asked you to.
A: I should’ve let the words come out.
B: I should’ve listened too.
Both: We built a house of silence and expected it to hold.

[Final Chorus – Both, emotional, layered]  
And now I’m choking on the things I never said out loud,
Every quiet moment feels like it’s crashing down,
I tried to hide the truth but it keeps breaking through,
And all the things I never said are screaming back at you.

[Outro – Singer A, soft]  
I never meant to fade away.

[Outro – Singer B, soft]  
I never meant to let you.

[Verse 1 – Singer A] I kept the quiet parts buried in my chest, Every word I swallowed just to keep the peace, You said you wanted honesty, but only when it’s clean, So I learned to bite my tongue until it bled beneath my teeth.
