Hear the silence screaming

I don't even know if you'll ever read this line

Maybe you'll glance at it quickly and toss it aside

Like every word that I that I wish I'd say

Like every part of me they threw away

I gave them my heart, my hours, my soul

And all I got back was the echo alone

I spent my years just tryin' to be

Good enough, just enough, someone to need

Can you hear the silence screaming

Can you see a smile that's bleeding

They laughed when I was reaching out

Now I'm just shadows, breaking down

I'm tired of wearing masks that lie

Of showing up just to survive

I'm empty, I've given all I had to give

Never enough, I guess I don't deserve to

I don't think they know what it does inside

To be the ghost in a crowded life

To be the joke when you're holding pain

To be unseen in your darkest rain

I smiled while sinking, day by day

Spoke in whispers, got pushed away

They saw the surface, never the storm

Just called me "quiet," not worn and torn

Can you hear the silence screaming

Can you see a soul that's leaving

They rolled their eyes, I tried not to care

Now there's nothing but hollow air

I'm tired of being brave alone

Of calling out and getting ignored

I'm empty, I've given all I had to give

Never enough, I guess I don't deserve to

I tried

I swear

I tried to stay

But piece by piece

I slipped away

There's only so much someone can take

Before your soul begins to break

I wanted to be stronger still

But even hope can lose its will

I wish I had more fight to give

But this is no way….to live

oooohhh ooohooh

Can you hear the silence screaming

Can you feel my heart breaking

I gave everything I had

But it still wasn't enough to last

I'm tired of wearing this disguise

Of hiding all the hurt inside

I'm empty, I've given all I had to give

Never enough, You made me re- re-alise I don't deserve to… live
