[Verse 1] I learned to sing but not too loud, Kept my head low in the crowd. Golden cage, a fragile light, Smiled my way through every night. [Pre-Chorus] They said stay small, don’t make a sound, But every silence dragged me down. [Chorus] I was quiet in the dark too long, Held my breath just to play along. Now I don’t hide, I don’t deny, I can cry, I can cry. From broken wings to open sky, I spread my truth, I finally fly. Hear my voice cut through the night — This is my canary cry. [Verse 2] I felt the air grow thin each day, Every warning pushed away. If I shook, they called it weak, If I spoke, they wouldn’t speak. [Pre-Chorus] I carried fear like it was law, But cages crack with every flaw. [Chorus] I was quiet in the dark too long, Held my breath just to play along. Now I don’t hide, I don’t deny, I can cry, I can cry. From broken wings to open sky, I spread my truth, I finally fly. Hear my voice cut through the night — This is my canary cry. [Bridge] I was the signal no one heard, A shaking voice, a trembling word. If I fall, I fall alive, If I break, I still survive. No more silence, no disguise, I won’t fade before I rise. [Final Chorus] I was quiet in the dark too long, Held my breath just to play along. Now I stand here, no goodbye, I can cry, I can cry. Every scar rewrote my why, Every fear taught me to fly. Hear my truth, no compromise — This is my canary cry. From shattered gold to open sky, No more waiting, no more why. I was born to warn, to rise, This is my canary cry. [Outro] No more cages, no more lies, If the world won’t hear — I’ll cry.
