I hold it together in daylight
Laugh like I'm finally okay
But the night knows my real side
When all the noise fades away
I pause, my smile, I hide the pain
Erase your name,
then write it again
I cry when no one sees
Fall apart quietly
I'm stronger than I used to be But you still get the best of me
I swear I'm learning how to heal But
healing doesn't mean I don't feel
I cry when no one sees That I still miss you,
honestly
Your memory
lives in small things A smell of street scents in the air
I tell myself it means nothing But my heart knows you were there
I say I'm done, I say I'm free
But your ghost keeps chasing me
I cry when no one sees Break down silently
I've moved on at least it seems But you're still visiting my dreams
I act like I don't care anymore The sunlight's up on the floor
I cry when no one sees That I still love you,
secretly
Survival, we did it first I cry when no one sees
It'll be okay,
I do believe Just not tonight,
let me breathe
I'll cry when no one
sees And that's my truth, quietly
