Part C⋆｡°✩ Some Kind of Way / The Things I Couldn’t Say ✩°｡⋆ Part C

[Male] They said I didn’t have to carry it alone [Female] I told you I could hold it But I didn’t know how deep it goes [Verse 1 ] They said I didn’t have to carry All the weight inside my chest Said I could bring them every shadow So I could finally rest But the second I started speaking I felt like I crossed the line Left me feeling like I’m too much Now I’m overthinking every sign And you keep telling me to stop Putting ghosts where they don’t belong But how do I know what’s real When safe starts feeling wrong? [Pre-Chorus ] Having a voice don’t mean it’s heard Having a wound don’t mean it’s seen Everybody wants the honest truth Till it bleeds on something clean [Verse 2 ] I knew something was wrong I saw it written in your eyes You asked me if I was okay Knowing damn well I lied For a moment you were honest You let the dark thoughts leave your mouth And I became the quiet room That didn’t know how to make a sound How do I tell you that it hurt me Without making you regret The only time you trusted me With something you had never said? [Pre-Chorus ] I said it was fine Trying to prove I was safe But I swallowed my reaction And called it giving grace Having a heart don’t mean it holds Everything without a bruise Sometimes love stays silent Cause it doesn’t know what truth to choose [Chorus ] How are we supposed to come back When we both left wearing shame? You said, “say what you gotta say” Till it made us feel some kind of way Now we’re swallowing the ocean Trying not to call it rain Every time we open up We learn a new way to close again No one understands No one understands [Both] How much goes unspoken When silence feels safer than hands [Verse 3 ] Everyone wants a hero Till they see what battles do Till the armor gets too heavy Till the hurting touches you Everybody says, “I’m with you” Everybody says, “I care” But their eyes start moving different When the damage hits the air And everybody says “be honest” Till honesty has teeth Till the truth you finally give them Leaves them bleeding underneath I wanted to be gentle I wanted to be kind But I was breaking in the silence While you were breaking in your mind [Bridge ] I thought you said I could come to you I meant it when I said it Then why did safety disappear? Because I didn’t know my pain could be a weapon I only gave you what was true I know, and I hate that it hurt I left feeling like a burden I stayed quiet and made it worse [Breakdown ] Safety shouldn’t disappear When pain becomes the truth Silence shouldn’t feel like love When it’s tearing me from you [Both] We were both trying not to break it We were both trying to survive But the things we couldn’t say Were eating us alive [Final Chorus ] How are we supposed to come back When we both left wearing shame? You said, “say what you gotta say” Till it made us feel some kind of way Now we’re swallowing the ocean Trying not to call it rain Every time we open up We learn a new way to close again No one understands No one understands How much goes unspoken When silence feels safer than hands I couldn’t say it hurt me I couldn’t say I knew So we called it being careful While it split the room in two
