Verse 1 I’m the only one who sees the change Each breath he takes, the growing strain They ask me how he’s doing now I wear the truth like a paper crown I smile so they can walk away But I stay, and I stay Chorus Lately I’ve been crying without a sound Tears fall inward, don’t touch the ground It’s a storm I fight where no one sees Strong on the outside, broken underneath This is my life, and it’s tearing at the seams Each silent tear, another shattered dream Verse 2 I whisper to the stars at night “Will I make it through this fight?” I’m strong, I know, but I still bleed And even warriors have days they need To lean, to rest, to finally be Just human… just me Chorus Lately I’ve been crying without a sound Tears fall inward, don’t touch the ground It’s a storm I fight where no one sees Strong on the outside, broken underneath This is my life, and it’s tearing at the seams Each silent tear, another shattered dream So if you see me smile, look twice There’s sorrow dancing in the light It’s a quiet war I brave alone But even silence has its tone This is my life, a weight I never chose Each silent tear, a rose that never grows Still I carry, still I care Still I’m here… still I’m there Each silent tear, a silent prayer… I’m still here.
