Silent Screams Amongst the Mountain Pines

[Verse 1] Lost in the shadows, carrying the weight, Expectations high, feeling the strain. She wants a hero, perfect and strong, But inside I'm breaking, can't hold on for long. [Pre-Chorus - Rising Pain] In the mirror, I see a man, Trying hard to understand. The love I give, the pain I hide, In this storm, I'm lost inside. [Chorus - Pleading] Silent screams, unheard cries, Behind these eyes, a heart that tries. To be the man she dreams, so real, But what she wants, I can't conceal. [Verse 2] A real man opens doors, holds her hand, Smiles through the tears, takes a stand. But what about the nights I fall, When the darkness comes, and I lose it all? [Pre-Chorus - Rising Pain] In the shadows, I fight my fears, Every day, every year. She sees strength, but not the scars, In this war, I've come so far. [Chorus - Pleading] Silent screams, unheard cries, Behind these eyes, a heart that tries. To be the man she dreams, so real, But what she wants, I can't conceal. [Bridge] Love is patient, love is kind, But sometimes love is hard to find. In the echoes of my mind, I'm searching for a peace, a sign. [Verse 3] She put me on a pedestal, so high, But I’m just a man, trying to get by. In her eyes, I see the dreams, But life is harder than it seems. [Pre-Chorus - Rising Pain] Every day, I give my all, Hoping that she'll see me when I fall. A real man, with flaws and fears, Holding on through the years. [Chorus - Pleading] Silent screams, unheard cries, Behind these eyes, a soul that dies. To be the man she needs, so strong, But the man she needs, is gone. [Outro - Resignation] In her love, I find my strength, For my family, I'll go to any length. Silent screams, but still I fight, In their arms, I find the light. Together we'll rise, through the night, Holding on, we'll make it right.
