Verse: 1

The room is breathing, but it’s not alive

Shadows crawl across the walls at night

I leave the light on just to feel

Like something here is real

The clock keeps talking, won’t let me sleep

Every second cuts a little deep

I trace your name I never say

On lips that learned to stay away

Pre-Chorus:

I thought being alone meant being free

But silence learned my name too easily

Chorus:

I’m not afraid of the dark

I’m afraid of no one calling my heart

I don’t miss the noise or the pain

I miss being seen in the rain

If this is strength, let me break

If this is peace, it’s a mistake

I’d rather bleed than feel this way

In a room full of silence

Verse: 2

I talk to voices in my head

They sound like things you never said

I fill the space with empty sound

Just so I don’t drown

Every mirror looks away

Like it’s tired of what I’ve become today

I hold my breath, I count the floor

Like I’m still waiting by the door

Pre-Chorus:

I built these walls to feel safe inside

Now they echo every night

Chorus:

I’m not afraid of the dark

I’m afraid of no one calling my heart

I don’t miss the noise or the pain

I miss being seen in the rain

If this is strength, let me break

If this is peace, it’s a mistake

I’d rather bleed than feel this way

In a room full of silence

Bridge:

Maybe I learned to disappear

Because staying hurt too much here

Maybe I’m not empty inside

Just tired of always being the one who survives

I don’t need saving

I just need a sign

That I still exist

In someone’s mind

Final Chorus:

I’m not afraid of the dark

I’m afraid of forgetting who we are

I don’t need promises or faith

I just need a reason to stay

If this is strength, let me break

If this is peace, I’ll take the ache

Just don’t leave me locked away

In a room full of silence

Outro:

The room is quiet

But I’m still here

Waiting for something

That sounds like “you’re not alone”
