I learned how to breathe with the pain in my chest Smile in the mirror, say “I’m doing my best” I built all these walls just to keep myself safe But safety gets lonely when love walks away I learned how to stand in the middle of storms Say I’m okay while I’m shaking inside I carry my fears like they’re second skin I don’t let them out, but they’re screaming again We were quiet for so long Thinking silence kept us strong I was scared if I spoke I would lose you for good Like truth was a fire I shouldn’t touch So I swallowed my words, let them turn into weight Every unsaid thing became my mistake I was waiting for you to read what I hide Hoping you’d see it without me crying But love isn’t magic, it’s fragile and loud And we almost lost it by not making a sound When we break the silence When we let it hurt When we say the things we’re terrified to learn If love is a war Then this is the truth We don’t survive it if we don’t bleed through I don’t need you perfect I need you here With your hands shaking With all your fear I don’t need the answers I just need your voice I don’t want your promise I want your choice Say it even if it breaks us Say it even if it burns We can’t heal in the quiet We only heal when we’re heard I thought love meant holding it all inside Being the strong one, never asking why But strength is a lie when it’s built on control And I’m tired of being brave alone I thought love meant never letting it crack Keeping it pretty, never looking back But cracks let the light in, that’s how we see That broken doesn’t mean we can’t still be free When we break the silence When we finally fall When we stop pretending we don’t feel at all If love is a flame Then let it be true I’d rather burn honest than lose me and you I’m not leaving I’m not running I’m not hiding I’m not numb I’m right here With my heart open With no armor With no guns When we break the silence When we let it roar When the truth comes crashing through the door If love is a risk Then this is the proof I’d rather be shattered Than quiet with you Say my name Say the truth I’m still here I choose you Say it loud Say it wrong We survived This far, this long When we break the silence… We’re not broken at all.
