Verse 1 If you could hear the thoughts I hide, The storms I fight with tears inside, You'd understand the weight I bear, The silent screams, the worn-out prayer. I've smiled through pain, stood through the rain, And learned to hide the deepest pain, But underneath this brave disguise, There's someone tired behind these eyes. Verse 2 I've walked through fire nobody knew, Survived the things that broke me through, I've been the shelter, been the stone, Yet cried the hardest when alone. I've tried to mend what life has torn, To find some hope in every morn, But sometimes even hearts that fight Get lost inside the longest night. Verse 3 If I have failed you, hear me say, I never stopped trying every day, My love was real, though flawed and worn, I gave my best through every storm. I carried wounds I couldn't name, And sometimes passed along my pain, But every choice, each tear I cried, Held love I struggled to keep inside. Verse 4 I wish you'd see beyond my scars, Beyond the nights I counted stars, Beyond the anger, fear, and shame, Beyond the times I lost my way. For underneath the hurt I've known, A heart still longs to find its home, A soul that wants to feel what's true, And find a little peace anew. Verse 5 So if these words reveal my tears, The weight I've carried through the years, Please hear the truth I can't disguise: I'm hurting more than meets the eyes. Don't wait until my voice grows still To ask about the pain I feel, Come sit with me; let's face this night, And help me find my way to light.
