I never asked you to be the shield But you were Every bruise you wore Kept me from breaking You were chaos, I was quiet But you dragged me through the riot Took the weight I couldn’t hold Said my silence was still whole I saw the pain behind your grin Heard the storm you kept within I stayed still, but I always knew I was breathing because of you I’M LOUD FOR YOU NOW NOT IN SCREAMS, BUT SOUND LET THE STRINGS BREAK IF THEY NEED DONT BLEED OUT FOR ME BUT YOU WERE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE THE STORM SO I COULD BE REBORN Every song I’ve ever played Was your name in a different way You burned so I could stay clean Shattered so I could dream You were fire, I was glass But somehow we both survived the crash You made noise so I could hide Now I play it back with pride I’M LOUD FOR YOU NOW NOT IN WORDS, BUT VOWS EVERY NOTE I BEND EVERY BEAT I SEND YOU WERE STRONG ENOUGH TO FACE THE FLAME SO I COULD LEARN MY NAME You’ll never hear this. But if you did— I hope you’d know. I survived because you were loud enough For both of us. I’M LOUD FOR YOU NOW THE MUSIC CARRIES MY SHOUT IF THE STRINGS BREAK, LET THEM IF THE VOICE BLEEDS, LET THEM YOU WERE THE CHAOS THAT HELD ME STEADY AND I’D PLAY YOUR NAME FOREVER
