Behind the Silence

Chorus

Let me run, let me breathe, let me be unafraid

I've been breaking in shadows, waiting to be saved

See the boy behind the silence, hear the words I can't say

I just want to be seen, just want to feel okay

Verse 2

Lockers slam, heads turn, I keep walking alone

A thousand faces pass me by, but I have no home

Questions haunt my mirror, I can't look away

Every bruise that's inside me, every hope I betray

Pre-Chorus

I've learned to hide what's real, to swallow all my pride

But even in the darkness, something won't die

Chorus

Let me run, let me breathe, let me be unafraid

I've been breaking in shadows, waiting to be saved

See the boy behind the silence, hear the words I can't say

I just want to be seen, just want to feel okay

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me find my light

Oh, one day I’ll be all right

Bridge

Still I rise through the quiet, through nights torn apart

Just a child with a burden, carrying my heart

Every scar has a reason, every tear has a name

But hope is a promise, burning deep in my veins

Chorus

Let me run, let me breathe, let me be unafraid

I've been breaking in shadows, waiting to be saved

See the boy behind the silence, hear the words I can't say

I just want to be seen, just want to feel okay

Post-Chorus

Oh, let me find my light

Oh, one day I’ll be all right

Outro

In the dawn, I keep walking, with dreams in my eyes

Take my pain, turn it gentle, let tomorrow arise

Maybe someday they'll listen, maybe kindness will grow

For the boy who keeps hoping, they’ll finally know

Outro

In the dawn, I keep walking, with dreams in my eyes

Take my pain, turn it gentle, let tomorrow arise

Maybe someday they'll listen, maybe kindness will grow

For the boy who keeps hoping, they’ll finally know

Tag

Still I walk toward the river, where the sun lifts my face

Though the night tried to break me, I find my place

With each breath I remember, I am more than their shame

Every day I grow stronger, calling out my own name

Final Line

Let me be seen, let me be free
