Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You’re loud when the sky is clear
When the weight’s not on your back
But when the ground starts givin’ way
That’s when you fade to black
When the nights are gettin’ heavy
I’m talkin’ to dead air
Then you call me up smiling
Like you were always there
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need the spotlight
I don’t need the praise
I just need you present
On the hard days
[Chorus]
Don’t go silent when it hurts the most
Don’t leave me readin’ ghosts
I’m not just here when you’re fine
When the scars are healed, when the stars align
If I’m your friend, then let me be
There in the dark, not conveniently
Say it’s heavy, say you’re bent
Don’t disappear—stay present
[Verse 2]
You say you don’t wanna burden me
Like pain’s a thing to hide
But you vanish when you’re breakin’ down
Then talk when you’ve survived
I hear about the storm too late
When the damage is already done
I don’t need a victory speech
I needed you mid‑run
[Chorus]
Don’t go silent when it hurts the most
Don’t shut the door, don’t coast
I’m not just here when you’re fine
When you’ve stitched it up and crossed the line
If I’m your friend, then let me in
Not after, not when the pain’s past tense
Say it’s heavy, say you’re bent
Don’t disappear—stay present
[Bridge]
I don’t need you fixed
I don’t need control
If you’re fallin’ apart
Just say you’re not whole
I’ll sit in the quiet
I’ll stay through the doubt
But I can’t help what you never let out
[Outro]
I’m right here
Even when it’s hard
That’s what friends are
