[Verse 1] I wear a mask, it hides my pain, A sunny smile beneath the rain. But deep inside, the shadows stay, Bruises on my heart don’t fade away. [Backup] Don’t fade away, don’t fade away... [Chorus] Silent cries, wounds you can’t see, They cut so deep, but they live in me. Not all battles leave a trace, But they linger in my heart’s embrace. [Backup] In my heart, in my heart... [Verse 2] Each step I take, the weight is there, Invisible burdens too heavy to share. The world keeps turning, they don’t know, The war inside, the scars that grow. [Backup] Scars that grow, scars that grow... [Chorus] Silent cries, wounds you can’t see, They cut so deep, but they live in me. Not all battles leave a trace, But they linger in my heart’s embrace. [Backup] In my heart, in my heart... [Bridge – Soft and Reflective] If you could hear the whispers within, You’d feel the echoes where pain has been. But I keep moving, I’ll find my way, Through the shadows to a brighter day. [Backup – Chanting] Brighter day, brighter day... [Verse 3] I’ve learned to fight, I’ve learned to cope, Each scar a lesson, each tear a hope. Though the bruises lie beneath the skin, I’ll rise again, let the healing begin. [Backup] Let it begin, let it begin... [Outro – Gentle and Hopeful] So if you’re hurting, you’re not alone, The quiet pain is a path of your own. Step by step, you’ll heal in time, And the silent cries will fade to shine. [Backup – Fading Out] Fade to shine, fade to shine...
