Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You laugh the loudest in the hallway Pointin' out every crooked seam Turnin' someone's morning Into years they can't redeem You say you're only kiddin' But I see how her shoulders fold Those little jabs you're throwin' Hit deeper than you know [Chorus] It's easy to be a bully When it ain't your heart on the line When you never taste the poison Drippin' from your own sharp lines But words can cut like barbed wire Leave scars you can't explain One day you might be the one Cryin' in silent pain (oh, silent pain) [Verse 2] You roll your eyes at the quiet boy Call him weak ‘cause he walks away But you don't see his bedroom When he prays to fade someday You turn his name into a punchline High-fivin' every cruel remark While he's countin' every bruised thought Alone in the dark [Chorus] It's easy to be a bully When it ain't your heart on the line When you never taste the poison Drippin' from your own sharp lines But words can cut like barbed wire Leave scars you can't explain One day you might be the one Cryin' in silent pain (yeah, silent pain) [Bridge] Someday you'll meet a mirror That don't buy your crooked grin You'll hear your own cold phrases Echo back from deep within You'll beg for just one shoulder Just one voice to call your name And all you'll hear is the echo Of the hurt you gave away [Chorus] It's easy to be a bully When you think you'll never fall But it only takes one heartbreak To feel every shattered call Your words can crush a lifetime Leave a soul out in the rain And one day you could be the one Cryin' in silent pain Yeah, one day you could be the one Cryin' in silent pain

country, Sparse, fingerpicked acoustic guitar and soft pedal steel, male vocals up close and cracked with emotion. Verses stay intimate and low, brushed snare easing in on the first chorus. Second chorus widens with warm harmonies and a subtle organ pad, then everything strips back to just voice and guitar for the final lines, leaving space and silence to land the heartbreak., male vocals
