[Intro] They warned me. I heard them. I just didn’t listen. (…not to him) [Verse 1] He looks like trouble in the dark, Eyes that promise, hands that mark. Every smile feels like a test, Every touch lights up my chest. They say his words don’t match his truth, That fire like this burns down youth. But when he pulls me close like that, I forget the warnings that I had. [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself it’s just desire, Just a spark, not playing with fire. But something breaks each time I stay — I just don’t see it fade away. [Chorus] These silent scars don’t bleed out loud, They hide beneath the safest sounds. No bruises show, no proof to find, Just cracks he leaves inside my mind. I chose the heat, I chose the dark, Ignored the truth, mistook the spark. You won’t see what he took apart — The damage lives in silent scars. [Verse 2] He says I’m special, says I’m safe, Then disappears without a trace. I rewrite pain as something sweet, Call it love when I can’t sleep. I learned his moods, his push and pull, When to stay quiet, when to fall. I give him grace he never earns, While something in me slowly burns. [Pre-Chorus] I keep the peace, I keep the lie, Say I’m fine and let it slide. If love hurts, then this is it — That’s what I tell myself to live. [Chorus] These silent scars don’t fade with time, They grow with every crossed line. No broken skin, no shattered bone, Just learning how to feel alone. I chose his world, I lost my ground, Mistook control for being found. You won’t hear the way I fall apart — The damage lives in silent scars. [Bridge] They don’t see the nights I ache, The parts of me I slowly break. Love shouldn’t feel like fear in disguise, Or truth swallowed to keep him mine. I swear I’m still in control… But control shouldn’t hurt this much. [Chorus] These silent scars tell what I won’t say, A story written in decay. No open wounds, but I still wear Every moment I stayed when I should’ve left there. This isn’t love — but I don’t run, Not yet… not now… not in book one. You’ll understand how this all starts — With quiet lies and silent scars. [Outro] They warned me. I heard them. This is only the beginning.
