You Never Know

Verse 1
Blue lights flashing on a midnight street,
Girl on the railing, holding on tight.
Tears on her face, shaking hands,
Crowds gather ‘round but they don’t understand.
She’s fighting a war with her own history.

Pre-Chorus
They whisper, they stare, but they don’t see inside,
The battles she’s fighting, the reasons she hides.

Chorus 1 
You never know what she’s hiding inside,
A storm in her chest, a pain she can’t hide.
She looks so strong, but she’s breaking apart,
Smiles on her lips, with a scream in her heart.
Don’t judge the scars you’ll never see—
The weight that she carries could’ve been me.

Verse 2
Sirens calling, “Just hold on tight,”
Her silence louder than the city night.
“Don’t let go, girl, just breathe, just breathe.”
They shake their heads, say, “How could she fall?”
But I’ve been there—I’ve felt it all.

Pre-Chorus
They whisper, they stare, but they’ll never feel,
The cracks in her heart she’s trying to heal.

Verse 3
In her silence, I hear the sound,
Of all the times I almost drowned.
“How could she fall so low?” they say,
But battles like hers don’t go away.

Pre-Chorus
It’s easy to ask, “Why can’t you be strong?”
But until you’ve been there, you’ll never know.

Chorus 2
You don’t see the fight she’s losing inside,
Her laughter’s a mask, her tears are denied.
She looks unshaken, but she’s torn at the seams,
Living in shadows, drowning in dreams.
Don’t turn away from what you can’t see—
The battle she’s fighting could’ve been me.

Bridge
We laugh, we lie, we cover the truth,
Cracks still show in the quietest youth.
One word of kindness, one hand to hold,
Could be the thing that saves a soul.
So hold out your hand, don’t turn away.

Final Chorus 
You don’t see the fight she’s losing inside,
Her laughter’s a mask, her tears are denied.
She looks unshaken, but she’s torn at the seams,
Living in shadows, drowning in dreams.
Don’t turn away from what you can’t see—
The battle she’s fighting could’ve been me.

Outro
One gentle word, one moment of care,
Could be the reason they’re still here.
So don’t judge the scars you’ll never see—
You never know, it could’ve been me.
