Carry me through

I learned to smile before I learned to speak,

Hide every crack where nobody could see.

Everybody says, "You'll be alright," But they don't hear the conversations in

the night. I kept every promise I could keep,

Even when it took the best of me.

Some days I stand a little taller...

Some days I can barely breathe.

If you could hear the words I never let escape...

Maybe you'd finally know What I've carried every day.

Can somebody hear me

Before the silence wins?

I'm still standing here...

I'm just tired of pretending.

I don't need the world to save me.

I just need someone to see...

That behind the smile I've worn...

There's still a heart Trying to believe.

Every photograph remembers someone Who thought tomorrow couldn't change.

Funny how the years keep moving,

While some feelings stay the same.

I've walked through rooms full of people,

And still felt completely alone.

Sometimes the loudest kind of silence Is the one you carry home.

If I told you everything...

Would you stay?

Or would I become

Another story

People forget?

Because underneath these scars...

There's still hope. Can somebody hear me

Before the silence wins?

I'm still standing here...

And I'm done with

pretending. I don't need the world to save me.

I just need someone to know...

That even broken hearts

Still have love Left to show.

If you ever felt this way...

Then maybe... I was never alone.
