Choose Us Over Noise

The room goes quiet
When the anger starts
Like everyone knows what's coming next
I hold my breath
Count the cracks in walls
That heard this all before

I know you're fighting something inside
But you're bleeding on the ones who stay
I'm tired of cleaning wounds you never meant to make
I don't hate you
I just can't carry all this weight
I don't blame you
But your storms are breaking us

I still love you
Even when you can't see us anymore
I just wish your anger
Would learn now to let go

Silence falls like it always does
After every word cuts too deep
You lock yourself behind closed doors
While we learn how not to speak
I know you're drowning in your mind
But you're pulling us down too
I'm trying not to disappear
While reaching out to you

I don't know you
I just can't carry all this weight
I don't blame you
But your storms are breaking us
I still love you
Even when you can't see us anymore
I just wish your anger
Will learn now to let go

If you ever hear this
Know there's no revenge in my voice
Just a tired heart
Asking you to choose us over noise

I don't hate you
I just miss who you used to be
I don't need perfection
I just need some peace
Just some peace
Just some
Peace
