Quietly Falling Apart - Aliza
No one sees
what's underneath
I laugh at the right time, say I'm doing fine
Keep every crack hidden
between each line
I hold conversations
like nothing's wrong
But my strength
doesn't last that long
I keep it together till the lights go down
Then I feel it all around
I'm quietly falling apart
piece by piece
smiling in public
losing my peace
No loud collapse
no dramatic start
Just me alone
quietly falling apart
Your name doesn't break me like it once did
but it still lingers under my ribs
I don't cry daily like before
but some nights I feel it more
It's not the noise that makes me weak
it's when the silence starts to speak
I'm quietly falling apart in empty rooms
holding on to what we assumed
I'll say I'm healing
but that's half true
I'm falling apart
all over you
Maybe someday the ache will cease
maybe my heart will find its peace
Until that dawn brings a new start
I'll keep pretending with a steady heart
No one hears
this hidden part
I'm quietly falling apart
No one sees
what's underneath
I laugh at the right time, say I'm doing fine
I laugh at the right time
No one sees, no one sees, no one sees
No one sees
No one sees
No one sees
