Quiet Pain

**QUIET PAIN**

**[Intro]**
Some things you carry,
Some things you never say.

**[Verse 1]**
Grew up fast, had to find my way,
Saw hard times turn the night to day.
Mum kept strong when the money ran low,
I learned real young what the streets don’t show.

Lost some friends, watched people change,
Same old faces, but they felt strange.
Kept my head down, stayed in my lane,
Built my heart through the quiet pain.

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I never spoke about the weight I carried,
Just kept moving when the road got heavy.
If you ask me how I made it through,
I’ll say I had to.

**[Chorus]**
Quiet pain, but I stand tall,
Took a few hits, never let myself fall.
Nobody knows what I had to face,
I found my strength in the hardest days.
Quiet pain, deep in my soul,
Lost a few pieces but I made myself whole.
I came from nights when I prayed for change,
Now I wear my scars like a name.

**[Verse 2]**
Had big dreams with an empty pocket,
Knocked on doors but they wouldn’t unlock it.
Heard “no” more times than I can recall,
Still kept faith when I had nothing at all.

Some days hurt, some nights felt long,
But every setback made my spirit strong.
I don’t forget where I came from,
I just look ahead at what I’ll become.

**[Bridge]**
No applause for the battles unseen,
No one knew what it took to believe.
I kept one hope when the road went dark,
A little light can still guide your heart.

**[Final Chorus]**
Quiet pain, but I stand tall,
Took a few hits, never let myself fall.
Nobody knows what I had to face,
I found my strength in the hardest days.
Quiet pain, deep in my soul,
Lost a few pieces but I made myself whole.
I came from nights when I prayed for change,
Now I wear my scars like a name.

**[Outro]**
I don't need to tell them everything,
Some stories live beneath the skin.
I know the road, I know the pain,
And I know I'll never walk it the same.
