[Verse 1]
I walk the halls like I’m made of glass
Hear the whispers when I pass
Laughs behind me, names they throw
I keep my head down, move realslow
I’m just trying to fit the frame
Same heartbeat, different name
I smile like I’m doing fine
But I’m breaking every time
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, “Don’t let it get to you”
But they don’t feel what I do
If they knew the weight I carry
Maybe they’d see me too
[Chorus] (Hook)
Invisible wounds with indelible scars
You don’t see the pain, but it stays where you are
Every word cuts deeper than it seems
I’m more than your jokes, more than your means
Invisible wounds with indelible scars
I’m still standing here, even when it’s hard
[Verse 2]
Lunchroom silence, picked last again
Heart racing fast, where do I begin?
They say, “it’s just words,” “it’s just a game”
But every day feels the same
Once I was color, now I’m gray
Trying to make it through another day
If I disappear into the crowd
Would anyone hear me cry out loud?
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a storm behind my eyes
Hidden under brave disguises
I wish someone would slow down
Look at me, not through me now
[Chorus] (Hook)
Invisible wounds with indelible scars
Written in whispers, written in scars
Smiles can lie, pain can scream
Things aren’t always what they seem
Invisible wounds with indelible scars
I’m still here, still reaching for stars
[Bridge] (Shift to Hope)
What if one voice broke the silence?
What if one hand reached for mine?
What if “different” wasn’t dangerous
What if we crossed the line?
If you see me standing alone
You don’t have to save the world
Just say my name, just sit down
Watch the light come back unfurled
[Final Chorus] (Bigger, Brighter)
Invisible wounds with indelible scars
But they don’t define who we are
Every heart deserves a safe place
Every soul deserves some grace
Invisible wounds with indelible scars
Together we’re stronger, together we are
[Outro]
Be the friend you’d want to find
Be the voice, be the sign
Kindness is louder than cruelty’s sound
This is how bullying breaks down
Invisible wounds…
Indelible scars…
My healing begins where kindness starts.
