[Verse 1 – Soft, talk-sung, emotionally distant] First time my heart broke Didn’t cry — just went cold Pulled on my old coat of silence Tucked my heart away So far down, under the radar Even I couldn’t find where it lay [Verse 2 – Calm, internal, building tension underneath] Another day, same escape Numb to pain, switching lanes Climb the stairs inside my mind Close the door, leave the world behind Eyes shut — and the world disappears It’s not so bad when I reappear Best days come when I’m alone ’Til the voices turn on me Persecute me Chase me back into the glow [Chorus – Worn but clear, midrange delivery + harmonies] (Low harmony under first two lines) I don’t cry, I don’t call Just wait for the noise to forget what I said (Add soft high harmony here) No goodbyes, no one to trust It’s not that I’m broken — I just don’t adjust [Bridge – Almost whispered, intimate, emotionally revealing] Kept it low so they wouldn’t see But the silence still swallowed me Not a flame, not a spark Just a shadow moving in the dark [Chorus – Repeat 2 | Same harmonies] I don’t cry, I don’t call Just wait for the noise to forget what I said No goodbyes, no one to trust It’s not that I’m broken — I just don’t adjust [Chorus – Repeat 3 | Slightly more strained, emotional closing] I don’t cry, I don’t call Just wait for the noise to forget what I said No goodbyes, no one to trust It’s not that I’m broken — I just don’t adjust
