All my bro’s wanna be more than friends,
but when I fall silent, I’m the villain in the end.
Too many thoughts in my head, so I can’t speak the truth;
Instead, I weave lies ‘cause I’ve never trusted a single one of you.

Whispers and rumors
my name on your lips,
So I keep my distance, tighten my grip.
They say I’m the one who’s slipping away,
but I’ve been carrying the weight of their words every day.

I’m the problem, they say, always pleasing the crowd,
But who’s there for me when my world gets too loud?
I’m the one sparing their feelings, putting my own on hold,
Corking my emotions, while their stories are told.

In a world where trust is a fragile thing,
Where loyalty’s a word that doesn’t mean a thing,
I’ve been looking for brothers who’d stand by my side,
But all I find are shadows, where the real ones hide.

So here we go again, another trusted friend,
But when will they stop walking out or leaving me in the end?
I’ve learned to speak less, let my actions be heard,
‘Cause no one ever cared to listen to my words.

Let’s talk about it
how I put others first,
But in this game of loyalty, I’m always the one who’s cursed.
