[Intro]
Soft rain on windows, a quiet shed of light
Hands tremble, words hide in the folds of night
[Verse 1]
Bruised vowels spill in a chest too full to speak
A silence wraps around the ache I keep
Tears map the corners where I refuse to cry loud
A language of gravity, whispers in a shroud
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could break the dam, would the ocean hear?
But the silent language holds me, year after year
[Chorus]
Tears are the quiet letters I can’t erase
Silent syllables tracing the lines of my face
If love is a flood, I’m drowning in my gravity
Speak through the tears, tell you what’s left of me
[Verse 2]
I wear a smile like armor, thin as a breeze
Every smile a doorway to what I don’t release
The room hums with the weight I never chose
In every breath, a story nobody knows
[Pre-Chorus]
Between the sighs and the breath I keep apart
A language forged in marrow, stubborn in my heart
[Chorus]
Tears are the quiet letters I can’t erase
Silent syllables tracing the lines of my face
If love is a flood, I’m drowning in my gravity
Speak through the tears, tell you what’s left of me
[Bridge]
Let the windows cry with me, let the night hear the truth
I am here, still breaking, word by fragile truth
[Chorus]
Tears are the quiet letters I can’t erase
Silent syllables tracing the lines of my face
If love is a flood, I’m drowning in my gravity
Speak through the tears, tell you what’s left of me
[Outro]
When the quiet finally speaks, may you hear my name
In the hush between heartbeats, I will rise again
