Lyrics
You’ve been walking through the silence
With your head down in the rain
Every step feels like it’s sinking
In a world you can’t explain
You try to hold the pieces
But they cut your hands again
You're tired of pretending
You're stronger than the pain
But the light is never gone
Even when it fades
And the voice inside your chest
Is still worth the weight
If you ever feel alone
Like the whole world’s closing in
I’ll be the breath beneath your drowning
The calm beneath your skin
You don’t have to break in silence
Or carry this unknown
If your hope is barely holding
Just know you’re not alone
You hide the war behind your laughter
You fake the peace with tired eyes
But no one sees the battle
When your tears are locked inside
You’re scared to show the cracks
But that’s how the light breaks in
It’s okay to fall apart
And start again
You’re not weak for feeling lost
You’re not wrong for needing grace
The bravest hearts are often
The ones that break
If you ever feel alone
Like the whole world’s closing in
I’ll be the breath beneath your drowning
The calm beneath your skin
You don’t have to break in silence
Or carry this unknown
If your hope is barely holding
Just know you’re not alone
And I’ll meet you in the quiet
Where the noise begins to fade
I’ll stay with you in shadows
'Til you find your way
If you ever feel alone
In the spaces no one sees
I’ll be the voice that says “keep going”
Even when you don’t believe
You don’t have to have the answers
You just have to hold on
And if you ever feel forgotten
You’ve been loved all along
