you asked me what was wrong this morning i said i’m fine and looked away truth was breaking through the surface but the words just wouldn’t stay you asked me why i drifted away why my eyes looked lost for days and the storm inside my chest just froze me standing there i’m still here after all the dark i knew sitting in the quiet with you waiting for the truth the life we built kept stretching wider till it pulled us both too tight i tried to hold it like i always had but something broke in me that night i chased a thousand restless thoughts trying to find what i should say every time the truth comes rising fear can steal my words away so let me explain before the silence turns to shame i know you never meant to hurt me or push my heart away let me explain change can shake the ground beneath us we’ve both been holding feelings afraid of what they’d say you don’t need to explain the silence doesn’t scare me now i know the weight you're carrying and how the past gets loud i grew up hiding every feeling learned to swallow every tear if i spoke up it felt dangerous so i turned my voice to air i grew up learning how to listen for the things we couldn’t say how the quiet holds the truth when the words just slip away but you deserve an honest partner not a locked and guarded mind so i’m trying to unlearn damage one truth at a time i sat alone inside the darkness where the echoes couldn’t lie and slowly something new awakened in the silence of my mind i’m not the girl who used to tremble when the answers wouldn’t come i learned how to sit with questions till the healing had begun i’m not turning cold i’m not walking out i’m just fighting ghosts i know how they get loud if you give me time i will walk beside every hidden thought every place you hide we don’t have to rush the sunrise we don’t have to chase the light some truths grow slowly in the shadows before they learn to speak at night and if the silence feels like distance i will sit with you inside it till our words come home so let me explain don’t let the silence turn to shame i’m still learning how to say it its ok im learning how to wait i’m reaching for the truth inside me you don’t have to rush it today we’ll meet each other in the middle where the quiet turns to grace take your time i’m still here Written & produced by Siren Queen Sara © 2026 Siren Queen Sara.
