I don’t know how you’ll hear these songs, Or if you even press play at all, But every word, every line I wrote— Was me tryin’ not to fall… I didn’t sing ‘em, nah not my voice, But every feeling in ‘em mine, Every crack, every hidden truth, Came from somewhere deep inside… ⸻ [PRE-HOOK] I just hope you hear me in between the lines… ⸻ [HOOK] You don’t have to answer, You don’t have to care, I just hope you feel me Somewhere in there… Even if you walk away Like I meant nothin’ at all, I found my voice in the silence— And I won’t lose it now… ⸻ [VERSE 2] I used to need you to understand, Needed you to see my side, Now I see that ain’t how it works— You can’t force someone’s eyes… And maybe you’ll never hear it right, Maybe it don’t land the same, But I ain’t sendin’ these to fix us— I’m just speakin’ through the pain… ⸻ [PRE-HOOK] And for the first time I ain’t askin’ you to stay… ⸻ [HOOK] You don’t have to answer, You don’t have to care, I just hope you feel me Somewhere in there… Even if you walk away Like I meant nothin’ at all, I found my voice in the silence— And I won’t lose it now… ⸻ [BRIDGE – this is the heart] And if this is where it ends… I won’t call it a loss… ‘Cause I found somethin’ in me I was too scared to unlock… So thank you for the fire, Even if it burned me down… You didn’t hear my voice then— But you helped me find it now… ⸻ [FINAL HOOK – soft, resolved] You don’t have to answer… You don’t have to care… I finally hear myself… And that got me there… Even if you never turn around, Or never say my name— I found my voice in the silence… And I’ll never be the same…
