Verse 1 Like a leak behind the drywall, I came apart where no one looked. Like a headline nobody read, Every cry got overlooked. The bathroom lock knew every secret, The mirror memorized my face. Everybody said, "They're just quiet," Like silence couldn't take up space. Pre-Chorus I kept knocking with both hands. You kept saying, "You'll be alright." Funny how a room that small Could hold that much of a fight. Chorus Like a drowning man behind the glass, I watched your shadows pass me by. Like a smoke alarm with no batteries, I screamed until my voice ran dry. You heard the sound, But never heard the pain. Now every empty hallway Whispers my name. Verse 2 Like a cracked foundation, I held the whole house anyway. Every "Can somebody help me?" Got filed under "another day." The sink kept all my tears. The tiles knew every prayer. Strange how the coldest room Was the only thing that cared. Bridge Now everybody says, "We never saw the signs." But you don't miss lightning— You just call it sunshine Until it splits the sky. Final Chorus Like a letter left unopened, I stayed waiting on the shelf. I wasn't asking for a miracle— I just didn't want to hurt by myself. Some wounds don't bleed where people notice. Some voices fade before they break. Sometimes the quietest person in the room Is carrying more than they can take.
