(Verse 1) I walk through empty rooms, my shadow’s all I see The ones I love, they’re near, but their hearts don’t reach me I talk to walls, I talk to skies, but nobody knows The weight I carry deep inside, the path I chose Lost two lights, two souls I ran to when the world went cold Mom and A, gone, and now their stories haunt me bold A spark from nowhere, a card that called my name Little signs that whispered truth, but no one knows the game (Pre-Chorus) I don’t blame, I don’t curse, I just face what’s mine I’m standing in the quiet, on the edge of time (Chorus) Why me? Why does the silence answer back? Why do I speak, but the echoes fade to black? Why can’t they see, why can’t they feel, why can’t they understand? I’m alive, but it’s like I’m sinking in the sand (Verse 2) Family told me truths I didn’t want to hear “They don’t see, they don’t care, you’re nothing in their sphere” Even knowing that, it cut, deeper than the rest The ones I ran to, trusted most, still put me to the test And my girls, my heart, my everything I missed Little hands, little laughs, moments I can’t resist I see them grown, shining bright, and it tears my chest I wasn’t there, I let them fly, yet I wish them the best (Pre-Chorus 2) I don’t seek forgiveness, I don’t seek their tears I just hold the quiet, the pain, the years (Chorus) Why me? Why does the silence answer back? Why do I speak, but the echoes fade to black? Why can’t they see, why can’t they feel, why can’t they understand? I’m alive, but it’s like I’m sinking in the sand (Bridge 1) I used to live for nothing, for the moment, for the thrill I broke myself, I lost myself, I needed time to heal Now I’m here, I’m seeing clear, every move, every sign The world keeps spinning blind, but I see every line (Bridge 2) I miss the ones I love, the ones who shaped my soul I reach for them, but the distance keeps me in control It’s not their fault, it’s not my curse, it’s just the way it flows Some truths are mine alone, some grief only grows (Verse 3) The spark that came from mom, the card from A that day Little things that break the silence, that show me the way I talk to no one, I cry alone, I question the sky I’m learning how to live again, even when they pass by (Pre-Chorus 3) I don’t want to change, I don’t want to hide I’ll take the pain, I’ll take the truth, and wear it with pride (Chorus – Final) Why me? Why does the silence answer back? Why do I speak, but the echoes fade to black? Why can’t they see, why can’t they feel, why can’t they understand? I’m alive, I’m awake, I’m still standing in this land (Outro) So I walk through empty rooms, but I’m not afraid The love I carry, the lights I lost, the choices I made I’ll keep my heart open, though the world may never hear I’m alive in the quiet, and I hold them near
