Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't scream, I smolder slow

Wear my silence like a heavy coat

Smile so no one sees the weight

Of the battles that I never debate

[Verse 2]

You think I’m fine ‘cause I still stand

But pain has ways you wouldn’t understand

It’s not the fall—it’s when you stay

Buried deep and smile anyway

[Pre-Chorus]

Does this pain make me too much,

Or someone craving touch

[Chorus]

I’m not broken—I’m in pain

All twisted up with guilt and blame

I bend beneath what I can’t show

But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go

I wear my sorrow like a skin

But that don’t mean I’m giving in

[Verse 3]

I’m not shattered, I still shine

Through every ache, this strength is mine

Twisted up, but not erased

Pain just carved a different grace

[Verse 4]

I’m not broken—I still feel

My sorrow makes the fire real

Anger, grief—they share my skin

But I’m still stronger from within

[Pre-Chorus]

Why do you only see the cracks,

And not the soul that's fighting back

[Chorus]

I’m not broken—I’m in pain

All twisted up with guilt and blame

I bend beneath what I can’t show

But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go

I wear my sorrow like a skin

But that don’t mean I’m giving in

[Verse 5]

I’m not broken—I still burn

Every scar’s a page I’ve earned

Twisted, torn, but standing tall

Been through hell—I’ve lived it all

[Verse 6]

I’m not broken—I’m just loud

In a world that shames the proud

My ache, my guilt, my rebel scream

Are just the echoes of a dream

[Pre-Chorus]

Can sorrow be a kind of grace,

Not just something we erase

[Chorus]

I’m not broken—I’m in pain

All twisted up with guilt and blame

I bend beneath what I can’t show

But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go

I wear my sorrow like a skin

But that don’t mean I’m giving in

[Verse 7]

I’m not broken—I just care

Deeper than I want to share

Anger pulses through my veins

Sorrow dancing in the rain

[Verse 8]

I’m not broken—I’m alive

With the rage I keep inside

Pain that bends but doesn’t end

A wounded soul that won’t pretend

[Pre-Chorus]

What if pain’s not weakness shown,

But proof I’ve never stood alone

[Chorus]

I’m not broken—I’m in pain

All twisted up with guilt and blame

I bend beneath what I can’t show

But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go

I wear my sorrow like a skin

But that don’t mean I’m giving in

[Verse 9]

I’m not broken—I still know

That buried seeds can still grow

Through the sorrow, through the flame

I am whole, though never tame

[Verse 10]

Do you flinch at all my fire,

Or fear the truth it might inspire

Can you tell the difference in the rain

Between what’s healing and what’s shame

[Pre-Chorus]

What if guilt’s just love delayed,

And anger is the price I paid

[Chorus]

I’m not broken—I’m in pain

All twisted up with guilt and blame

I bend beneath what I can’t show

But cracks don’t mean I’ll let it go

I wear my sorrow like a skin

But that don’t mean I’m giving in

[Verse 11]

I’m not broken—I still breathe

Though grief and guilt cut underneath

Twisted roots don’t mean decay

Some storms are meant to bloom that way

[Verse 12]

I’m not broken—I’m in bloom

Even pain can find its room

In a heart that learns to feel

Even when it won’t yet heal

[Outro]

What if I’m more than what you see—

A storm wrapped in fragility
