[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] I’m right here beside you, breath brushing your shoulder My voice hums the words I’ve rehearsed a thousand times over They spill like rose petals from a bud that’s slowly wilting Soft as a whisper, but my chest’s splitting wide open [Pre-Chorus] It’s just a small talk, casual and calm on the surface But every syllable’s a fist, punching my ribs from the service You nod and you smile, your eyes on the clock on the wall While my bones are cracking, but you don’t hear the call [Chorus] Can you hear my pain? The kind that gnaws through every quiet day When the ones I love fade, die, or just slip away I reach to save them, but my hands turn to sand Can you hear my pain? It’s screaming so loud, but you don’t understand [Verse 2] I’m the one who walks with you through the mall’s bright chaos Sweating beside you when the treadmill’s spinning raw I spot you at the gym, lifting weights side by side But I’m the shadow you step over when you turn to hide [Pre-Chorus] I melt into the floor right there at your feet My name’s on your tongue, but you never complete The sentence, the glance, the one tiny sign That you see the storm raging behind my eyes [Chorus] Can you hear my pain? The kind that gnaws through every quiet day When the ones I love fade, die, or just slip away I reach to save them, but my hands turn to sand Can you hear my pain? It’s screaming so loud, but you don’t understand [Bridge] I finally summon the nerve, let the question break free As you pass me by, I say “Hello… can you hear me?” You pause for a second, then keep walking on And I realize the silence was never your fault all along [Outro] I’m still right here, voice cracking, petals still falling My pain’s a wildfire, but the world keeps on calling No one turns to look, no one stops to listen (Instrumental Solo)
