Behind the tears

Verse 1

I wake up with a smile I borrowed

From a version of me tomorrow

Tell the world that I’m okay

Even when the cracks won’t fade

I laugh loud, keep it light

Hide the storms behind my eyes

If they knew what silence hears

They’d know me behind the tears

Pre-Chorus

I been strong for way too long

Held my breath, kept moving on

Every heart got souvenirs

Mine are hidden behind the tears

Chorus

Behind the tears, I’m breaking slowly

Still I stand, even lonely

I wear my brave like armor here

But I’m healing behind the tears

Behind the tears, I feel it all

Every rise, every fall

If love finds me through the fears

It’ll meet me behind the tears

Verse 2

I give hope like it’s endless

Even when my own feels fragile

Pouring light into the dark

Trying not to fall apart

I forgive, I let it go

But some pain don’t leave the soul

Every smile got souvenirs

Mine are hidden behind the tears

Pre-Chorus

I been kind when I was tired

Still believed when I was doubted

If you listen, you’ll hear

My truth breathing behind the tears

Chorus

Behind the tears, I’m breaking slowly

Still I stand, even lonely

I wear my brave like armor here

But I’m healing behind the tears

Behind the tears, I feel it all

Every rise, every fall

If love finds me through the fears

It’ll meet me behind the tears

Bridge

One day I won’t have to hide

Won’t apologize for crying

Strength don’t mean I disappear

It just means I stayed right here

Final Chorus

Behind the tears, there’s still hope

Still a heart that learns to cope

Every scar becomes a door

Leading me to something more

Behind the tears, I finally see

All this pain made room for me

I’m not weak, I persevered

I found myself behind the tears

Outro

I’m still here…
