broken soul

Lyrics

My mind runs laps in a crowded room
Thoughts too fast, always changing tune
Missed what you said, but I swear I tried
Got a thousand voices I can’t divide
Laugh it off, yeah I play it cool
Class clown energy, breaking rules
But you don’t see what I hide away
All the things I never say
I learned early how to keep it in
Smile wide, don’t let ‘em in
I got a storm I don’t show
Got a weight they don’t know
But I still hold the door, still ask if you’re okay
Even on my worst day
Yeah I bend, I don’t break
Give more than I take
Got scars I don’t display
But I’m still kind anyway
Family nights felt like walking glass
Love came quick, but it never lasted
Voices loud, I just shut mine down
Turned my chaos into a clown
Now I forget things, lose my place
Read the room but can’t keep pace
Heart too big for the mess I’ve known
So I carry it alone
If I opened up, would it spill too far?
So I lock it down, keep up the part
I got a storm I don’t show
Got a weight they don’t know
But I still check on you, still try to relate
Even when I’m not okay
Yeah I bend, I don’t break
Give more than I take
Got scars I don’t display
But I’m still kind anyway
Maybe one day I’ll say it out loud
All the hurt that I buried down
But for now I’ll just be the light
For someone else in the night
Yeah there’s a storm I still hold
And it’s heavy, it’s cold
But I’m learning I don’t have to carry the weight alone someday
Still I bend, I don’t break
Got a heart I won’t trade
Even through all the pain
I’ll stay kind anyway
