LYRICS:
I used to chase every echo,
Trying to outrun the noise in my chest.
City lights pulling me forward,
But I kept losing track of my breath.
Everyone said I was stronger
Than the weight I carried inside.
But no one saw how the silence
Was the only place left to hide.

I was breaking in the small ways,
Cracks too thin for anyone to see.
But the night kept whispering softly,
“Come back home to me.”

In the quiet I finally heard my name,
Found the part of me I thought had slipped away.
When the world went dark, I learned to see—
It was the quiet, the quiet that saved me.
No more running where the shadows lead,
No more trying to be what I can’t be.
In the quiet, the quiet set me free.

I’ve walked through rooms full of people
Feeling more like a ghost than a friend.
Smiling just enough to look normal,
Hoping nobody looked too deep in.
But the truth has a way of returning
When the noise finally fades to black.
And the part of you that you buried
Always finds its way back.

I was breaking in the small ways,
Cracks too thin for anyone to see.
But the night kept whispering softly,
“Come back home to me.”

In the quiet I finally heard my name,
Found the part of me I thought had slipped away.
When the world went dark, I learned to see—
It was the quiet, the quiet that saved me.
No more running where the shadows lead,
No more trying to be what I can’t be.
In the quiet, the quiet set me free.

Maybe we all need a moment
Where everything falls apart.
So we can gather the pieces
And rebuild a softer heart.
I’m not who I was and I’m grateful—
I’m learning to breathe again slow.
Sometimes the loudest answers
Are the ones you hear alone.

In the quiet I finally heard my name,
Found the part of me I thought had slipped away.
When the world went dark, I learned to see—
It was the quiet, the quiet that saved me.
Now I’m walking where the light can reach,
Finally learning what it means to be me.
In the quiet, the quiet set me free.
