Stronger in the Silence

[Verse 1] I thought I found forever in your eyes We built a world, no need for lies We were fire, we were grace Two souls lost in a perfect place You were my reason, my only truth I gave my all, I gave my youth But time turned sweet into bitter pain And I watched you change, again and again [Pre-Chorus] I stood in the wreckage, calling your name But you played it off like it was just a game Every promise, every touch Now it feels like it was never love [Chorus] You tore me apart with your silent goodbyes Left me drowning in your ocean of lies You wore a mask I couldn’t see through But the truth came bleeding right on cue Now I’m standing in the ashes of it all You watched me break, you watched me fall But through the tears, I found my light I’m stronger in the silence of the night [Verse 2] You fooled me with your sweetest smile Led me blind through every mile I held on, thinking love was enough But you were never made of that kind of stuff I gave you my heart, you gave me your hell Now I know the cost of the lies you tell No more pretending, no more disguise I see the devil behind your eyes [Pre-Chorus] You didn’t just hurt me—you hollowed me out Now I see what real love’s not about But in the pieces, I found the man Who stands up again when no one can [Chorus] You tore me apart with your silent goodbyes Left me drowning in your ocean of lies You wore a mask I couldn’t see through But the truth came bleeding right on cue Now I’m standing in the ashes of it all You watched me break, you watched me fall But through the pain, I found my light I’m stronger in the silence of the night [Bridge] Now I walk alone, but I walk proud No more screaming in the crowd No more begging just to feel I know now what’s fake and what’s real I wait for a soul that sees my scars Who finds my truth in the dark Someone who loves without disguise A voice that heals, not lies [Final Chorus] You tore me apart, left me to bleed But I’m done crawling, I’ve got what I need The fire inside me burns too bright To be dimmed by someone else’s f***t I’m not broken, just reborn Out of the chaos, through the storm And now I’m ready for the real light I’m stronger in the silence of the night.
