I'm Crying - ArlenaZara
The clock keeps talking louder than you ever did
Walls know my secrets better than your skin
I folded all my dreams into a goodbye
Left them on the floor where hope went to die
Your name still hangs in the air like perfume
I breathe it in, I'm breaking in this room
I learned how to smile in public places
But here alone, I fall apart
No one sees the mess you made
No one hears my heart
I'm crying in a quiet room
When no one knows my pain
Screaming into silence, calling out your name
I'm holding all the words you never said
Drowning in the love you left too soon
I'm crying in a quiet room
Your side of the bed still feels like a lie
Cold like the way you said goodbye
I replay"everything will be okay"
Like a song that hurts but still I play
I gave you pieces I can't replace
Now I'm staring at my empty face
They think I'm strong, they think I'm moved on
But they don't know the truth
I'm only brave when I'm not seen breaking over you
I'm crying in a quiet room
With tears that never show
My heart keeps asking questions I already know
I loved you deeper than my breath
And now I'm lost inside the blues
I'm crying in a quiet room
Love shouldn't feel like begging or praying just to be enough
I kept choosing your happiness while mine was giving up
If healing means letting go
Why does it hurt this much
I was crying in a quiet room
But I won't stay here long
These tears are teaching me how to be strong
I'll turn this pain into my truth
I'll rise from what I went through
I was crying in a quiet room
The room is still quiet
But my heart is learning too
How to live without you
