Break the Silence

He wears a smile, but it’s paper thin A heavy storm is breaking within The world says, “Stand tall, don’t let it show” But he’s drowning quiet, and no one knows How many times can he hide the pain Before the silence drives him insane? Break the silence, let it out You’re not alone, don’t fight this doubt Tears don’t mean you’re weak inside They’re the proof you’ve stayed alive Brother, you don’t have to fight alone It’s okay to find your way back home He’s told to “man up, don’t cry, be strong” But strength has been a mask too long The mirror stares, but won’t reflect The fragile heart he can’t protect How many dreams will he push away Before he learns it’s okay to say— Break the silence, let it out You’re not alone, don’t fight this doubt Tears don’t mean you’re weak inside They’re the proof you’ve stayed alive Brother, you don’t have to fight alone It’s okay to find your way back home If the night feels endless And the road’s too hard to bear Reach out your hand There are voices there You’re more than the shadows More than the fight Your story’s not over You’ll see the light Break the silence, let it out You’re not alone, don’t fight this doubt Tears don’t mean you’re weak inside They’re the proof you’ve stayed alive Brother, we will walk with you Every scar has made you true You don’t have to fight alone It’s okay to find your way back home You’re not alone, you’re not alone…
