A Tear the Color of Silence

[Verse 1] There’s a quiet in my ribcage where my trembling learns to hide, a small and shadowed chamber where my fears sit side by side. I hold myself together so the fractures never show— a woman made of borrowed calm and storms she can’t let go. [Pre‑Chorus] I feel it rising softly, like a truth I shouldn’t speak, a warmth that fills my throat and makes my steady breathing weak. [Chorus] So I cry— just a single tear from the place I never share. A tear the color of silence, falling through the fragile air. It’s the ache I keep beneath me, the part I never show— and I let it fall in quiet ways only my heart can know. [Bridge] Maybe sorrow is a secret passed quietly through the years— a heritage of silence and the discipline of tears. So when that moment finds me, I let one drop release— then bury all the trembling so the world can see my peace. [Final Chorus] And I cry— just a single tear from the place I hide below. A tear the color of silence that no one else will ever know. And I’ll walk back into the waiting world as a woman no one will know.
