I Need My Silence

I gave too much away piece by piece I disappeared

Always showing up for others till my own voice wasn't clear

I learned to smile on empty but that price was far too high

Now I choose a different way I'm done with asking why

So if you see me closing doors

It isn't meant to push you out

I just need to hear my heart again

Without the noise of doubt

I need my silence

I need a room where I can breathe

No expectations

No one to fix no one to please

This is not distance

This is how I find my truth

I need my silence

Before I can come back to you

Don't call it cold or selfish this is how I mend my soul

I can't pour from an empty heart I won't pretend control

Peace is not a luxury it's oxygen to me

And sometimes love means stepping back

So I can stand on my own feet

So if I walk a little slower

Please don't pull me from this place

Not every quiet moment means

I'm fading into space

I need my silence

I need a room where I can breathe

No expectations

No one to fix no one to please

This is not distance

This is how I find my truth

I need my silence

Before I can come back to you

Let me fall into the stillness

Let me anchor in the deep

Only then I'll rise much stronger

Only then my wounds can sleep

I need my silence

I need a room where I can breathe

No expectations

No one to fix no one to please

This is not distance

This is how I find my truth

I need my silence

Before I can come back to you

Give me space and I return whole
