The pain is there
no doubt about it
You can't stop now
you must endure it
Numb it away
you can't afford to quit
you can't find balance?
suffer in silence

I will try
I will fail
You will laugh
I will prevail
you ask me how
I suffer in silence

he gets up for the day
you call him lazy and he needs to pay
In the end you will leave
no one to turn to
no one to call
in the end he will suffer in silence

bills are due
work work work
mentally exhausted
on the verge of breaking
I need time to heal
but that requires my absence
that will not do
suffer in silence

I need to cry
I need to vent
they say I am the bad guy
they don't know what I do
I work my *** off
that much is true
I take the blame
I walk away
I shut my mouth
I sit and obey
The moment I speak
they run away from me
this is why I suffer in silence
