You never noticed how I paused
How my hands would shake because
Of words I couldn't bring to light
And tears I fought with all my might
You missed the invisible things
Like pain tied tight on puppet strings
The smiles that cracked around the edge
The hope I buried like a pledge
You never asked why I went still
Why laughter felt more like a drill
I wore my mask, you wore your pride
And every truth we let just slide
You missed the invisible signs
Like silence screaming through the lines
My breaking heart in steady tone
You never saw I stood alone
Love's not just what's clearly said
It's in the tears we never shed
Now you'll learn what distance brings
When you ignore invisible things
You'll miss the me you never knew
The one who only lived for you
