this is why you don't speak up
this is why you're quiet
this is why you have your walls
so they can't hurt your heart
this is why you shut them out
this is why you run
this is why you suffer
in the silence of your room
to let them in means damage
to let them in means hurt
to let them in means heartache
in the darkness you now know
to let them in means pain
to let them in means tears
to let them in against the odds
one of my greatest fears
silent in your suffering
they'll always let you down
you're alone in this battle
you're alone in it now
alone within the victories
alone within the joys
alone within the struggles
alone with all the noise
no one understanding
no one has the time
all busy with their families
to have no one in mine
no one in the hospital
no one calls your name
no one deems you worth it
no one else to blame
always to be invisible
they won't notice anyway
how long until you're silenced
until you go away
no one to take notice
no one to check in
no one to actually listen
until there's no one left
