[Intro]
You know what’s wrong
You see it in my eyes
You ask me if I’m fine
Like you don’t already know why

[Verse 1]
You ask me softly
But your voice already knows
There’s something sitting heavy
In the places I don’t show

You have your suspicions
You can feel the room decline
You watched me disappear
And still I practiced being fine

For a moment you were honest
You let the shadow through
And I held it like a secret
Because I wanted to be safe for you

[Pre-Chorus]
But where do I put the ache
When the ache has your name?
How do I tell the truth
Without making you ashamed?

[Chorus]
I can’t say it
I can’t say it out loud
I buried it in silence
But it’s still screaming now

I said I was okay
Trying to prove I wouldn’t run
But what do I do with the damage
When I’m not allowed to come undone?

You know what’s wrong
You see it in my eyes
I know you know the reason
I know you know the why

[Verse 2]
If I react too sharply
You’ll look at me different then
Like every fear you carried
Was right about letting me in

You’ll say, “This is why I hid it”
You’ll pull the truth back underground
And I’ll become the consequence
Of what you finally spoke out loud

So I hold it in my body
Let it twist beneath my ribs
Smile through the breaking
Like forgiveness means it quits

[Pre-Chorus]
But where do I put the pain
When it isn’t mine to share?
Who do I tell the truth to
When the truth still needs your care?

[Chorus]
I can’t say it
I can’t say it out loud
I buried it in silence
But it’s still screaming now

I said I was okay
Trying to prove I wouldn’t run
But what do I do with the damage
When I’m not allowed to come undone?

You know what’s wrong
You see it in my eyes
I know you know the reason
I know you know the why

[Bridge]
I wanted to be shelter
Not the storm you had to fear
I wanted to be gentle
So I disappeared

I don’t want you feeling judged
I don’t want you feeling blamed
But something in me fractured
When I heard you say that pain

And I hate that I’m still hurting
From a truth you had to free
I can hold your darkest moment
But who is holding me?

[Final Chorus]
I can’t say it
I can’t say it out loud
I buried it in silence
But it’s still screaming now

I said I was okay
Trying to prove I was enough
But what do I do with the heartbreak
That came from trying to love?

You know what’s wrong
You see it in my eyes
I know you know the reason
I know you know the why

[Outro]
I want to believe there’s hope
That someday this will fade
But how do you survive
The things you couldn’t say?

How do you survive
The things you couldn’t say?
