Things I never say out loud

Verse 1
I’ve been walking with a shadow I don’t talk about,
Carrying the weight of things I never let out.
Smile on my face but I’m breaking inside,
I’m a locked‑up room with no place to hide.
Pre‑Chorus
I tell myself I’m fine, but I know that’s a lie,
Some days I’m just trying to survive.
Chorus
These are the things I never say out loud —
The fears that choke me, the thoughts too proud.
The nights I crumble, the days I drown,
The moments I wish someone would pull me out.
I act like steel, but I’m wearing down —
These are the things I never say out loud.
Verse 2
I’ve been running from the mirror like it’s hunting me,
Afraid of the reflection I don’t want to see.
I’m tired of pretending I’m stronger than the pain,
When half the time I’m barely holding on to my own name.
Pre‑Chorus
I tell myself I’m fine, but I know that’s a lie,
Some days I’m just trying to survive.
Chorus
These are the things I never say out loud —
The fears that choke me, the thoughts too proud.
The nights I crumble, the days I drown,
The moments I wish someone would pull me out.
I act like steel, but I’m wearing down —
These are the things I never say out loud.
Bridge
Maybe speaking it won’t make me weak,
Maybe honesty is what I need.
Maybe letting go is how I breathe,
Maybe this is how I finally speak.
Final Chorus
These are the things I never say out loud —
But maybe it’s time I let them out.
The nights I crumble, the days I drown,
The parts of me I’ve always pushed down.
I’m learning now that it’s okay to feel —
These are the truths I’m finally letting heal.
