Invisible Wounds 2m 42s

VERSE

Back when I was young, life felt like a dream

Family was close, nothing in between

Friends were forever, laughter was real

Blind to the shadows I'd one day feel

VERSE

But teenage years hit like a wave of stone

Bullied and broken, feeling alone

Every friendship ended in blame

Every breakup whispered my name

PRE-CHORUS

They told me it's me, that I'm the flaw

Left with a wound, raw and raw

CHORUS

I carry the weight of all they've said

Bruises unseen, thoughts that bled

Every goodbye carved pieces in me

Fragile, fractured for no one to see

I've learned to hide what's buried deep

Haunted by losses I silently keep

VERSE

Family torn by words so sharp

Splitting apart what was once our heart

Holding my breath, scared they'd know

The fractured pieces I've hidden below

VERSE

And then there was you, a light that went dark

An empty space, a permanent mark

I still feel your absence, heavy and cold

A part of me missing, a story untold

PRE-CHORUS

I fear to speak of this hollow space

Afraid they'd run from what I face

CHORUS

I carry the weight of all they've said

Bruises unseen, thoughts that bled

Every goodbye carved pieces in me

Fragile, fractured for no one to see

I've learned to hide what's buried deep

Haunted by losses I silently keep

BRIDGE

How do I tell them I'm lost inside?

That I'm drowning in sorrow I try to hide

Your chair sits empty, your laugh is gone

A silence that screams that life moves on

BRIDGE

I hold my breath, afraid to break

Afraid that they'll see what I can't shake

The darkness that's left where you used to be

The weight of a loss that no one can see

CHORUS

I carry the weight of all they've said

Bruises unseen, thoughts that bled

Every goodbye carved pieces in me

Fragile, fractured for no one to see

I've learned to hide what's buried deep

Haunted by losses I silently keep
