My Voice Shaking - ArlenaZara
I used to speak with confidence
Now my words fall out like broken branches
I keep my heart inside my chest
But the weight of you won't let me rest
Every time I try to say your name
My throat goes tight, I feel the shame
I thought I'd be brave, I thought I'd be strong
But the silence proves I was wrong
I'm not the same girl you left behind
I'm trying to find my voice in the quiet
My voice shaking
Every time I think of you
My heart's breaking
And I don't know what to do
I'm holding back the tears
But they keep falling like rain
My voice shaking
From all this love and pain
I keep the memories locked away
But they come back in the middle of the day
I try to smile, I try to pretend
But the truth is I can't even mend
I loved you with all of me
But you let go so easily
Now I'm standing here alone
With a heart that's turned to stone
I thought time would make it right
But I'm still trapping in the night
My voice shaking
Every time I think of you
My heart's breaking
And I don't know what to do
I'm holding back the tears
But they keep falling like rain
My voice shaking
From all this love and pain
If I could speak without the fear
I'd tell you what you didn't hear
I'd say I loved you, I'd say I cared
But you left me standing there
I'm learning to breathe
I'm learning to heal
But my voice still shakes and I still feel
My voice shaking
But I'm finding my strength
I'll speak again, I'll go the length
I'll let the pain finally go
I'll let the truth show
My voice shaking
But I'll rise from the pain
One day I'll speak with no fear
One day I'll wipe away the tears
My voice shaking
But I'm still here
