Unsaid

[Verse 1] I put your coffee by the bed, Wake up early just to see you rest your head. I fix the leak, I pay the bills, But you don’t see the weight I feel. You say I’m distant, say I hide, But baby, I was raised to swallow pride. You want the words, the sweet cliché, But I was taught to love a different way… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] So many thoughts, they spin around, But I don’t know how to let ’em out… ⸻ [Chorus] These are the things I leave unsaid, The fears that echo in my head. I’m strong outside, but truth be told, I’m scared of breaking, scared to fold. I love you deep, but I go quiet— Doesn’t mean my heart is private. I show it all in what I’ve done, But I still lose when I say none… ⸻ [Verse 2] I see you crying in the dark, And I just hold you—don’t know where to start. You want the truth inside my soul, But I’ve been taught to just stay in control. I’ve seen my father hold it in, Never once said “sorry” to my kin. Now I’m trying to unlearn the script, But every word feels like a sinking ship… ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] So many thoughts, they spin around, But I don’t know how to let ’em out… ⸻ [Chorus] These are the things I leave unsaid, The fears that echo in my head. I’m strong outside, but truth be told, I’m scared of breaking, scared to fold. I love you deep, but I go quiet— Doesn’t mean my heart is private. I show it all in what I’ve done, But I still lose when I say none… ⸻ [Bridge] I’m learning love is more than tasks, It’s looking in your eyes and taking off the mask. So if I trip, if I confess, Promise me you’ll meet me in the mess… ⸻ [Final Chorus] These are the things I leave unsaid, The storms that thunder in my head. I’m learning now to face the fear, To let you in and pull you near. I love you loud, but not in words, I’ve buried truths you’ve never heard. But I won’t run, won’t play pretend— I’m learning how to speak again… ⸻ [Outro – Soft Fade] …These are the things I leave unsaid… (not for long) …not for long…
