Lyrics

Left my thoughts on the edge of my bed
Where the silence talks louder than what’s in my head
I been walkin’ through days like I’m made outta smoke
Smilin’ in rooms, but my soul’s barely spoke

Used to think I’m the problem, now I’m just tired
Tried to light hope, but the match never fired
I ain’t tryna fade out, I’m tryna hold tight
But some nights, man, even angels lose sight

People ask why I stare at the floor
‘Cause it don’t judge me like they did before
Every scar got a name, every tear got a song
But I bury the lyrics 'cause they all feel wrong


---

[Refrain / Hook]
If they ask where I went, say I needed some peace
If they ask why I’m gone, say I found some release
If they ask who I was, say I fought like the rain
If they ask if I smiled – tell 'em I hid the pain

If they ask where I went, say I searched for a light
If they ask what I left, say a heart full of fight
If they ask who I loved, say I loved too deep
And if they ask why I left – say I needed to sleep


---

[Verse 2]
I wrote letters in my breath, but they vanished by dawn
Tryna hold onto something in a world that’s gone
Heard a voice in my chest say “you’re more than your fears”
But that voice got drowned by the weight of the years

I been kind in a world that don’t know what it means
Held hands with the hurt, gave peace to machines
I ain’t bitter – just bruised, I ain’t broken – just bent
I just need one place where my soul feels spent

They see strength when I bleed and they call it control
But they don’t see the fire just burnin' a hole
I gave all I had and then gave a bit more
Left pieces of me in each unopened door


---

[Refrain / Hook wiederholt]
If they ask where I went, say I needed some peace
If they ask why I’m gone, say I found some release
If they ask who I was, say I fought like the rain
If they ask if I smiled – tell 'em I hid the pain

If they ask where I went, say I searched for a light
If they ask what I left, say a heart full of fight
If they ask who I loved, say I loved too deep
And if they ask why I left – say I needed to sleep


---

[Outro – Spoken or whispered]
Don’t remember me for how I broke
But for how I stayed soft when the world made me choke
For the nights I stayed when I wanted to flee
And the quiet love I left where no one could see
