Broken Melody** I can't pretend anymore, I can't go on Hiding behind this facade, a broken song I wear a smile upon my face, but inside I'm torn Every word, every note, feels so forlorn (Chorus) Saying that I'm fine, when I'm drowning in the rain Pretending to be strong, while I'm crumbling in pain Every lyric that I sing, carries sorrow deep inside This broken melody, I can no longer hide I paint a picture of joy, with colors so bright But behind the canvas, my heart longs for the light I strum my guitar, hoping it'll calm my soul But the harmony echoes the desolation, taking its toll (Chorus) Saying that I'm fine, when I'm drowning in the rain Pretending to be strong, while I'm crumbling in pain Every lyric that I sing, carries sorrow deep inside This broken melody, I can no longer hide (Bridge) These tears fall like raindrops, on my empty stage I'm yearning for solace, but it's trapped in a cage And as I sing my heart out, with words that bleed The audience claps, but they don't grasp my need (Chorus) Saying that I'm fine, when I'm drowning in the rain Pretending to be strong, while I'm crumbling in pain Every lyric that I sing, carries sorrow deep inside This broken melody, I can no longer hide (Outro) My voice trembles, as I pour my soul once more In these broken melodies, my sadness I explore Though I may smile, to conceal the pain inside I know in this sad song, my truth will reside
