[Verse 1] I hold my breath and keep that door This isn't the first time, I've been here before You keep your mouth shut but the damage remains I'm locking my heart, I'm done swallowing pain [Pre-Chorus] With each second I feel the ache in my chest What we deny still refuses to rest [Chorus] Your silence weighs like a chain on my neck Pulling me down every time you regret Calling it mercy, then dragging me down It gets heavier every time you come around [Verse 2] The wound opens, then it all fades You say you're sorry, like nothing has passed But thoughts keep spinning by the end of the night You said you'd change, but I'm done with your lies [Pre-Chorus] I bite down hard, there's no going back But your words keep rising up [Chorus] Your silence weighs like a chain on my neck Pulling me down every time you regret Calling it mercy, then dragging me down It gets heavier every time you come around [Breakdown] SAY IT! Or swallow it! OWN IT! And live with it! I won't carry that heavy load That lives beneath your words [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] If I break first, will the ceiling fall? If I disappear, will it end it all? I draw one breath from somewhere below And feel the strength to finally let go [Final Chorus] Your silence weighs like a chain on my neck But I rise up choking on what comes next I've heard all your words, the silence is mine And I won't be there when you come around [Outro] The room exhales I finally see The weight lies still And I can breathe --- ▪︎ Check out the remix by @thelefthandtree ▪︎ https://suno.com/s/W5zNQMx7Xt6AgOym
