No One Knows I Cry at Night

The lights are off, the world’s asleep
But I’m still sinking in too deep
My phone is quiet, heart is loud
I’m breaking soft without a sound
I laugh by day, pretend I'm whole
But night reveals the price it stole
No one knows I cry at night
Underneath the pillow light
Tears that fall without a sound
In silence, I am slowly drowned
They see the smile I wear by day
But not the parts that slip away
No one knows…
I cry at night
I scroll through photos we once took
Each one a scar I never shook
I don’t post, I don’t explain
But all this calm is built from pain
I close my eyes but don’t find rest
Just echoes sitting on my chest
No one knows I cry at night
When all the lies feel kinda right
I say I’m fine, I say I’m strong
But night knows where I don’t belong
They see the sun I fake each day
But night, it steals the light away
No one knows…
I cry at night
And if they ask, I say I’m fine
But you and I both know that’s mine
No one knows I cry at night
And maybe that’s my quiet fight
I love, I lose, I bleed, I bend
But only when the day has end
So let the stars just keep their light
I’ll break alone…
Again tonight
