Verse 1 Every night when the world goes still, I hear crying through the walls of my will. Same time, same sound, same ache inside, I tell myself it’s nothing — just another night. I lay there wondering who’s hurting that bad, Who’s breaking down when the lights go black. I thought it was someone I couldn’t see, Never crossed my mind… it was me. Pre-Chorus I’ve been strong for so long, learned how to survive, Built a life where the pain stays quiet. But pain don’t die just because you grow, It just learns how to whisper low. Chorus Then I looked in the mirror, Saw tears in my eyes, And the child I heard crying Was me all this time. I spent years running forward, Trying to outgrow the pain, But the voice in the darkness Just wanted my name. Verse 2 I learned how to smile, learned how to cope, Turned my wounds into discipline, fear into hope. They clapped for the strength they never questioned, Never asked who I was protecting. I kept telling myself, “You’re fine, you’re okay,” But that kid in my chest kept crying anyway. Every unmet need, every goodbye, Was waiting for me to finally arrive. Pre-Chorus You can’t heal what you refuse to see, You can’t save what you leave unseen. That child didn’t need more time, They needed me to stop and listen this time. Chorus So I looked in the mirror, Let the truth collide, And the child I heard crying Was me all this time. Not weak, not broken, not behind, Just waiting for love I kept denying. Bridge I don’t need to fix you, I don’t need to run. I just need to sit with you Till the shaking’s done. I’m here now — you’re not alone, You don’t have to grow up on your own. Final Chorus (Soft Build) I still hear the crying, But it sounds like release, ‘Cause the child I heard breaking Finally feels seen. Healing didn’t start with becoming someone new, It started when I stopped… And chose you. Outro And every night when the room gets quiet, I don’t hear crying… I hear breathing. Remember You Are Extraordinary
