You Just See Me Stand

Verse 1 You talk like you remember every version of my name, but you never saw the nights when I was drowning in the blame. You say I’m stronger now, like the pain just walked away, but you never held the pieces that I broke to make today. Pre-Chorus I gave you all my shadows, you only kept the light, and now you act like you survived every battle that I fight. Chorus You don’t see me bleeding, you just see me stand. You don’t hear the screaming under everything I am. You think you know my story, but you only read the start— you don’t know what it’s like to rebuild a shattered heart. Verse 2 I learned to hide the trembling, I learned to fake the calm, I stitched myself together with a shaking, open palm. You say I’m complicated, like it’s something you can fix, but you never felt the fire that I walked through just to live. Pre-Chorus I gave you all my truth, you turned it into doubt, and now you act like you were there when I had to climb out. Chorus You don’t see me bleeding, you just see me stand. You don’t hear the screaming under everything I am. You think you know my story, but you only read the start— you don’t know what it’s like to rebuild a shattered heart. Bridge If you ever felt this breaking, you’d stop calling it “just pain.” You’d know healing isn’t simple, it’s a war you fight again. I’m still learning how to breathe without the weight you left behind— I’m still rising from the wreckage you never tried to find. Final Chorus You don’t see me bleeding, you just see me stand. You don’t hear the screaming under everything I am. You think you know my story, but you only read the start— you don’t know what it’s like, you don’t know what it’s like, to rebuild a shattered heart.
