The Things We Never Say

Listen to the full story. Stream our latest original track. 📜 LYRICS: [Verse 1] I smile when somebody asks me how I’ve been, Say “I’m doing fine,” and let the silence win. There’s a story in my eyes I never tell, A little piece of heaven, a little piece of hell. I keep old messages I’ll never read, Names in my phone that still mean something to me. Funny how a person can be gone, And somehow their shadow keeps living on. [Pre-Chorus] We all have a room inside our hearts, Where we hide the pieces falling apart. And nobody knows what we carry alone, When the lights go out and we’re finally home. [Chorus] These are the things we never say, The tears we hide at the end of the day. The “I miss you” sitting on our tongue, The “I’m not okay” we never let come. We laugh, we love, we walk away, Pretending tomorrow will erase yesterday. But underneath the words we choose, We’re all just trying not to lose The things we never say. [Verse 2] Maybe you had somebody you couldn’t keep, Maybe you still hear their voice when you fall asleep. Maybe you gave your heart and watched it break, And now you’re scared of everything you might feel again. Maybe your family thinks you’re strong, But they don't see you when the night gets long. Maybe you’ve been fighting battles in your head, While everybody thinks you’re better off instead. [Pre-Chorus] We all have a war nobody sees, A thousand questions underneath “I’m okay.” And sometimes all we really need Is someone who stays when we have nothing to say. [Chorus] These are the things we never say, The tears we hide at the end of the day. The “I miss you” sitting on our tongue, The “I’m not okay” we never let come. We laugh, we love, we walk away, Pretending tomorrow will erase yesterday. But underneath the words we choose, We’re all just trying not to lose The things we never say. [Bridge] So if you're listening with tears in your eyes, If you've been saying “I'm alright” when it's a lie, If somebody's name still hurts your heart, If you're still trying to heal what tore you apart— You don't have to hide tonight. You don't have to make your pain look right. Some hearts break without making a sound, Some lost souls just need to be found. [Final Chorus] These are the things we never say, The love we lost, the debts we couldn’t repay. The “come back” we swallowed when they left, The “I forgive you” we still have in our chest. We laugh, we love, we walk away, But some memories never really fade. And maybe we're not so different after all, Maybe we're all just learning how to fall And still find a way to stay. [Outro] So tell me you're hurting, I'll tell you I am too. Maybe the words we never say Are the words that make us human. ✨ If this song connected with you, leave a comment sharing your story.
