Tears I Never Meant to Hide V2

Tears I Never Meant to Hide

I said I’m fine too many times,
Smiled through the ache, rehearsed the lines.
But every night when lights go low,
That’s when the real me starts to show.

I hold your name like broken glass,
It cuts me more with every pass.
I still wear the love we had—
Like a weight I never asked.

These are tears I never meant to hide,
I’m tired of drowning deep inside.
You’re gone, but I still call your name,
And I hate that I still feel the same.
No one sees what I’ve become,
A war I’ve lost, but never run.
So here I am with nothing left inside—
Just tears…
Tears I never meant to hide.

Your ghost still lives in every room,
I feel you in the flowers’ bloom.
But beauty hurts when you’re not near,
And joy feels hollow year to year.

They say that time will do its part,
But time just plays with broken hearts.
I fake a laugh, I fake a light,
Then fall apart again each night.

These are tears I never meant to hide,
I’m tired of bleeding out with pride.
I write your name in every song,
Pretend that I’ve been strong too long.
But silence knows the way I bend,
Still waiting for a sign to end.
So here I am, and all I’ve got is why—
And tears…
Tears I never meant to hide.

If love was real, why did it fade?
Why did forever slip away?
I’m holding on to shattered skies,
Still learning how to say goodbye.

These are tears I never meant to hide,
But I’m too tired to fake this fight.
If you're out there, if you still care,
Please don’t leave me stranded there.
I’m not okay, and that’s alright…
These are tears I need tonight.
These are tears I never meant to hide.
