I always speak in half-truths
Never say what’s on my mind
Swallow down the bitter words
That get stuck inside my pride
I don’t cry, I don’t plead
I just let the silence breathe
But every night, the words return
Echoes of the things I’ve learned
I love you—but I leave it unsaid
I need you—but I turn my head
Every word I wish you’d hear
Fades away, lost in fear
If I said it now, if I let it out
Would you hear me, would you doubt?
I’ve built these walls so high, so strong
But I don’t know if I belong
I always speak in half-truths
Never say what’s on my mind
Swallow down the bitter words
That get stuck inside my pride
I don’t cry, I don’t plead
I just let the silence breathe
But every night, the words return
Echoes of the things I’ve learned
I love you—but I leave it unsaid
I need you—but I turn my head
Every word I wish you’d hear
Fades away, lost in fear
If I said it now, if I let it out
Would you hear me, would you doubt?
I’ve built these walls so high, so strong
But I don’t know if I belong
I always speak in half-truths
Never say what’s on my mind
Swallow down the bitter words
That get stuck inside my pride
I don’t cry, I don’t plead
I just let the silence breathe
But every night, the words return
Echoes of the things I’ve learned
I love you—but I leave it unsaid
I need you—but I turn my head
Every word I wish you’d hear
Fades away, lost in fear
If I said it now, if I let it out
Would you hear me, would you doubt?
I’ve built these walls so high, so strong
But I don’t know if I belong
