Ain’t no use in talkin’, I done said enough before
Every time I open up, it just hurts a little more
So I smile when I see you, pretend I’m doin’ fine
But I’ve been carryin’ this weight for quite some time
I’m sufferin’ in silence, keepin’ it inside
Ain’t no need to burden you with all the mess of my life
Yeah, I’ve stumbled, I’ve fallen, and I’m payin’ for my sins
But I’ll swallow down the hurt before I lay it on my friends
My nights are filled with memories that won’t let me rest
Voices in my head tell me I ain’t got much sanity left
So I reach for a bottle, to wash down the pills
Tryin’ to drown out the noise, but seems I never will
I’m sufferin’ in silence, keepin’ it inside
Ain’t no need to burden you with all the mess of my life
Yeah, I’ve stumbled, I’ve fallen, and I’m payin’ for my sins
But I’ll swallow down the hurt before I lay it on my friends
Don’t take my quiet for peace of mind
It’s just a broken man tryin’ not to cross the line
If you see me laughin’, just let me be
It’s the only way I know how to keep some dignity
I’m sufferin’ in silence, but it’s tearin’ me apart
You’d never see the battle that’s been ragin’ in my heart
Yeah, I’ve stumbled, I’ve fallen, and I’m wearin’ down thin
Still I’ll bite my tongue and hide it, won’t lay it on my friends
So don’t ask me no questions, I ain’t lookin’ for no help
I’ll just carry this weight, keep it locked inside myself
