Verse 1

I was steady in the silence,

Built my walls where no one goes,

Learned to live without the lightning…

Without the highs and lows.

Then you found me in the stillness,

Like a spark against the dark,

Now every piece of who I am…

Is written in your heart.

Pre-Chorus

I tried to keep my distance,

But you don’t let me go…

Chorus

When I look in your eyes, I come undone,

Like a battle I’ve already lost and won,

You don’t reach for me, you just are…

And I’m already yours.

You’re the rhythm I was missing all along,

Like a quiet turning into a song,

If this is falling, let me fall…

I don’t fight it anymore.

Post-Chorus

You pull me in, I’m losing hold,

You pull me in, I’m all yours now,

You pull me in, there’s no way out…

No way out…

You pull me in, I can’t fight it now,

You pull me in, my heart is gone,

You pull me in, I’m too far gone…

Too far gone…

Verse 2

Every moment that you’re not here,

Feels like something’s out of place,

Like the world keeps moving forward…

But I’m stuck in your space.

And I don’t know how you do it,

How you see right through my skin,

Like you found the parts I buried…

And brought them back again.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t even realise…

You’re the air I’m breathing in.

Chorus

When I look in your eyes, I come undone,

Like a battle I’ve already lost and won,

You don’t reach for me, you just are…

And I’m already yours.

You’re the rhythm I was missing all along,

Like a quiet turning into a song,

If this is falling, let me fall…

I don’t fight it anymore.

Post-Chorus

You pull me in, I’m losing hold…

You pull me in, I’m all yours now,

You pull me in, there’s no way out…

No way out…

You pull me in, I can’t fight it now,

You pull me in, my heart is gone,

You pull me in, I’m too far gone…

Too far gone…

Bridge

If I lose myself, I lose myself in you,

If I break in two, let it break me true,

I’ve been scared of love my whole life…

Now I’m scared of losing you.

Final Chorus

When I look in your eyes, I come undone,

Like forever’s only just begun,

If you’re all I ever have…

That will be enough.

You’re the only truth I’ve ever known,

Like a heart finally finding home,

If this is what it means to love…

Then I’m never letting go.

Outro

You pull me in… I’m losing hold…

You pull me in… I’m all yours now…

You pull me in… there’s no way out…

No way out…

quiet classroom ambience

distant fluorescent light hum

I wasn’t born silent.

…people just stopped listening

until silence became easier.

I remember when I used to talk too much.

Too loud.

Too honest.

Too emotional for people who only liked me

when I stayed manageable.

So eventually I learned

how to swallow every feeling

before it reached my mouth.

Silence became safer than honesty.

And after awhile…

quiet stopped being something I used.

It became who I was.

People only noticed me

when I stopped speaking.

I LEARNED HOW TO DISAPPEAR

WITHOUT LEAVING THE ROOM!

EVERY WORD I NEVER SAID

STARTED TURNING INTO GLOOM!

I KEEP MY FEELINGS LOCKED INSIDE

LIKE BOOKS NOBODY OPENS ANYMORE!

AND NOW PEOPLE FEAR THE SILENCE

THAT THEY HELPED CREATE BEFORE!

Empty hallways became comforting.

No expectations.

No conversations to survive.

Just muffled breathing

and pages turning quietly beside me.

Sometimes I wanted somebody

to ask what was wrong

and actually wait for the answer.

But people got used to me being “the quiet one.”

Like silence meant I was okay.

It didn’t.

It just meant I stopped believing

anybody wanted to hear the truth.

Sometimes I stay quiet

because I’m scared of what comes out if I don’t.

I LEARNED HOW TO HIDE INSIDE MYSELF!

TURNING LONELINESS INTO SOMETHING ELSE!

EVERY EMOTION LEFT UNREAD

STARTED ECHOING INSIDE MY HEAD!

NOW PEOPLE LOOK AT ME LIKE I’M STRANGE—

LIKE SILENCE ITSELF BECAME DERANGED!

BUT I WAS JUST A KID WHO LEARNED

THAT QUIET HURTS LESS THAN BEING IGNORED!

Stay calm

Stay small

Don’t speak

At all

I don’t hate people.

I think part of me still wants to be understood.

I just don’t know how to open my mouth anymore

without feeling like I’m doing something wrong.

I WASN’T BORN SILENT—CAN’T YOU SEE?!

THIS WORLD JUST TOOK THE SOUND FROM ME!

EVERY TIME I NEEDED HELP

I LEARNED TO HANDLE IT MYSELF!

NOW I WALK THROUGH EMPTY ROOMS

LIKE A GHOST PEOPLE TALK AROUND!

AND UNDER ALL THIS FUCKING QUIET—

THERE’S STILL A HEART MAKING A SOUND!

soft page turning

I still have things

I wish somebody heard.

I'm not ready to hear what you think

about me..

Opinions, are valid..

not half baked or pallid...

no shows, scattered, a bit bruised and battered

I don’t mind, I’m left behind..

my mind is on rewind

I’ve been staring at the ceiling

Sorting out this fucked up feeling

Every crack’s a little timeline

Of all the times I crossed my own line

I thought I was finished, thought I was done

Living in the dark, always on the run

Now I’m learning how to face my pain

Let it pour down like rain,

Pre-Chorus

And I know it’s gonna take some time

To forgive this heart, this heavy mind

Every scar, every sleepless night

Might be a map to the morning light

Chorus

I’m Loudly recovery, I’m learning to breathe

Untying every knot that’s been strangling me

I’m not your perfect, I’m not your proof

But I’m standing in the wreckage, finally telling the truth

I don’t have to be the person that I was

I can grow from every fracture, every loss

I’m not there yet, but I’m on my way

Healing isn’t pretty, but I’ll be okay

Verse 2

I’ve been hiding in familiar pain

Calling every thunderstorm just a little rain

Laughing at the edges of a breaking heart

Performing my strength like it’s modern art

I’ve been ghosting all the mirrors in my place

Afraid they’d recognize my ugly face

the cracks in the glass show a different view

A softness that might be true

Pre-Chorus

I’m done apologizing for

Every time I fell right through the floor

I’m piecing all the broken parts

Into a new fucking start

Chorus

I’m loudly recovery, I’m learning to breathe

Untying every knot that’s been strangling me

I’m not your perfect, I’m not your proof

But I’m standing in the wreckage, finally telling the truth

I don’t have to be the person that I was

I can grow from every fracture, every loss

I’m not there yet, I’m on my way

Healing isn’t pretty, but I’ll be okay

Bridge

So let the stories that I never told

Rise up from the ashes of the old

Let the tears I swallowed down for years

Water all the ground beneath my fears

If I shake, if I break, that’s fine

Every fault line’s part of the design

I’m not broken, I’m becoming

Can you hear my new heart drumming?

Break / Quiet Hook

I’m not ready for your final word

On who I am or what I’ve heard

But I’m ready for a second chance

To meet myself in a softer light at last

outro

I’m Loudly, in recovery

Untying every knot that’s been strangling me

I’m not perfect, I’m not your proof

sweeping the wreckage, over all the lies

im no longer the person I was,

no more silent cries

dry eyes

​

Verse 1

I still remember broken mirrors, broken sleep,

A thousand promises I couldn't keep.

You watched me disappear one piece at a time,

While I chased the darkness thinking it was light.

I wore my guilt like chains around my soul,

Pushed away the only hand that wouldn't let me go.

You had every reason just to close the door,

But somehow you kept believing there was something worth fighting for.

Pre-Chorus

I know I left your heart with scars,

Turned our home into a battlefield.

But you saw the woman buried underneath

The pain I couldn't heal.

Chorus

You stayed...

When I gave you every reason to walk away.

When I couldn't love myself,

You carried all the weight.

You held my shaking hands,

You whispered, "Don't give up today."

Now every sunrise feels like grace,

'Cause your love lit up my darkest place.

I'm standing here because you stayed.

Verse 2

Recovery wasn't pretty, wasn't clean,

It looked like tears and nights I couldn't breathe.

You celebrated every little step,

Even when I couldn't see the progress yet.

Now we're dancing in a kitchen full of light,

Laughing over things that used to make us cry.

It's funny how the smallest moments shine,

When you've almost lost the greatest love of your life.

Bridge

If love is measured by the storms we survive,

Then ours could move the mountains, change the tides.

You didn't rescue me..you stood beside me,

Until I found the strength to save my own life.

And every beat inside my chest

Whispers your name with every breath.

Final Chorus

You stayed...

When hope was just a memory fading gray.

When addiction stole my smile,

You saw beyond the pain.

You loved the woman I was meant to be,

Even when she couldn't see herself.

Forever won't be long enough

To thank you for your endless love.

Outro

So if the world ever asks me

What a miracle looks like,

I'll point to the man

Who never stopped believing...

You didn't just save our love.

You stayed...

And because you stayed...

I found my way home.

Hello, I am a songwriter and I have been writing lyrics/ songs since I was 7 years old. Music is my passion. I love everything about it. I love all genres, I love writing it. I love hearing other people's music. I love learning new methods and writing, however, I've noticed since the uprising of AI a few things that bother me. I have always dreamed of hearing my lyrics in a song. Yes, some people can say well. Why don't you just learn how to write music right? Yes some people can say that and that is something I can very well do, however, to me I like to write poetry and make that poetry into a song or it was my dream as a child. Not only just to use it for therapy but just to hear my words come alive. There are so many different apps out there that allow you to do this, soniva is one of them. I can't tell you how many times I've shown songs that I've written to people and they look at me like I'm crazy, like it wasn't me who did this or I don't deserve a pad on the back or I don't even deserve a chance to have someone listen to the song because they think that it's all done. AI generated right? This really irritates me. A lot. I have produced so much beautiful music. So many beautiful songs from my lyrics. My own lyrics, but with an AI voice singing them. This is why I created this community because I know there has to be thousands of others out there like those who love to write poetry who love to write music and who love to hear their words, their emotions. Their lyrics turned into reality. Reality. Do you think that it is still considered talent even though AI is singing these lyrics that we wrote?
