I Stayed Unheard - Aliza
A shadow on the wall
But you are not really here
We share the same room
Still worlds disappear
I've spoken quiet ways
Through the things I do
Late night talks
Just to reach you
But your eyes were distant
Like you drift away
Even when you held me
You had nothing to say
Every word I whispered
Fell between the air
Like a silent prayer
No one heard
I stayed unheard
And I loved so loud
You filled the room
But lost the sound
Of everything I tried to say
Every tear I hid away
You never saw the hurt
I stayed unheard
I kept the peace
Every single fight
Swallowed my feelings
Just to keep it right
But the more I gave
The less you knew
All the quiet pain
I carried for you
Every"I'm okay"
Was just a word
Covering the truth
That I stayed unheard
I stayed unheard
And I loved so loud
You filled the room
But lost the sound
Of everything I tried to say
Every tear I hid away
You never saw the hurt
I stayed unheard
Maybe silence
Was not mistake
Maybe love should have
Had a voice to take
Now the echoes tell the truth
That disappeared
Inside of you
I stayed unheard
But now I know
Love shouldn't feel
So quiet and cold
Your shadow's gone
The room feels clear
And for the first time
I can hear
My own heart's word
I stayed unheard
