Auditie Songwriting 2025 - David Rutges - Unvoiced Agony

Lyrics:
Your tears are burning your face when you try to smile
You're fighting for the light while there's no way out
I was blind, I didn't notice your shadow growing
But now you told me, so am I too late
You've been crying out all this time
Your brakes are cut, I missed the signs
No one heard you until now
I wanna help but I don't know how
Everyone tells you that time can cure anything
But you've been waiting and still haven't healed
Why won't you let me lift this weight with you
I see it's crushing you, so please take my hand
You've been crying out all this time
Your brakes are cut, I missed the signs
No one heard you until now
I wanna help but I don't know how
I know you'll get through this with or without me
It's painted on the walls inside of your head
You've been crying out all this time
Your brakes are cut, I missed the signs
No one heard you until now
I wanna help but I don't know how
You've been crying out all this time
Your brakes are cut, I missed the signs
No one heard you until now
I wanna help but I don't know how
