Nobody Understands

[Verse]
I cried for help in a storm of screams
But the wind just swallowed my fragile dreams
The echo bounced but it never stayed
In the silence
I slowly frayed
[Chorus]
Nobody understands why I don’t speak
My voice got tired
My heart went weak
I waved
I jumped
I begged
I bled
Now I’m just quiet inside my head
[Verse 2]
I painted signs in the color of pain
But the rain washed them out again
I wrote my name in the ash and dust
The world just crumbled
Left me to rust
[Prechorus]
If caring's a game
I’ve lost the score
A hollow shell
I want no more
[Chorus]
Nobody understands why I don’t speak
My voice got tired
My heart went weak
I waved
I jumped
I begged
I bled
Now I’m just quiet inside my head
[Bridge]
I stopped caring
It’s true
Maybe I learned it from you
If nobody listens
What’s left to say
Just shadows that fade away

sparse beats, and atmospheric strings, minimal; female vocals; driven by moody piano, haunting, dark pop
