I Suffer In Silence

Alarm goes off, but I just lay there still,

Fighting with a mind that won’t be still.

Every breath feels heavy, tight like rope,

I whisper to myself one word… hope.

Feet hit the floor, but I feel so weak,

Mirror shows a face that barely speaks.

I fake a smile, like I know the scope,

Get dressed and carry on with hope.

(Chorus)

I suffer in silence, no one ever knows,

I hide the pain where no one goes.

But even my heart can’t seem to cope,

But somewhere deep I hold onto hope.

Out in the world, yeah I play my part,

Laugh in the crowd, hide a breaking heart.

Every joke I tell helps me cope.

No one ever sees I’m holding hope.

Long day drags, but I push through

Carry all the weight like it’s nothing new.

Most days I feel at the end of my rope

Inside I’m barely holding on to hope.

(Chorus)

I suffer in silence, drown in the noise,

Move through my day like I have no choice.

Even my heart can barely seem to cope,

I’m reach through the night for one word… hope.

Back at home where the silence stays,

Thinking ‘bout my life in quiet ways.

Made it through another day’s tight slope,

Close my eyes and hold onto hope.

(Bridge)

When the night and days drag on and stall

When you can’t see light at the end of it all.

In the quiet place where you barely cope,

Keep a little space for a whisper of hope.

(Chorus)

I suffer in silence, no one ever knows,

I hide the pain where no one goes.

But even my heart can’t seem to cope,

But somewhere deep I hold onto hope.

I suffer in silence, drown in the noise,

Move through my day like I have no choice.

Even my heart can barely seem to cope,

I’m reach through the night for one word… hope.
