Quiet Doesn’t Save Me
I keep my voice down, don’t raise my hand
Try to listen, try to understand
Step aside, let others take the light
Still I cross some line I never sight
I hate the noise, I hate the fight
So I stay quiet, keep it polite
But silence twists the things I mean
And buries what no one’s ever seen
Quiet doesn’t save me
It just hides me when I fall
I try to give them comfort
Still I take the blame for all
I don’t need to win or prove a thing
But somehow I’m the one who always bleeds
I carry weight I never let them see
Half a smile, moving carefully
They call me calm, they call me fine
Never catch this war inside my mind
I don’t fight because I care too much
I see myself in every single touch
Still they say I let it slide
Like I was never on their side
I am gentle, I am still
Yet I bend against their will
I try to help, I try to stay
But kindness slowly fades away
I kept the peace
And lost myself that way
Quiet doesn’t save me
It just hides the cracks and all
I tried to give them everything
Still I’m the one who takes the fall
I don’t need to scream to prove I’m real
But silence taught me how to disappear
I kept the peace…
But lost myself that way
