## Lyrics
[verse]
I kept it locked behind a careless grin
Played it cool while the walls were closing in
Said the wrong thing when the right words mattered most
Watched you walk to the door like a ghost

[chorus]
I was taught to swallow every single tear
Stand up straight and hide the fear
But now that you're gone I can't pretend
That I don't feel it breaking deep within

[verse]
I could laugh it off in front of all my friends
Tell myself that this is just how it ends
But alone at night the armor falls away
And I'm begging quietly for one more day

[chorus]
I was taught to swallow every single tear
Stand up straight and hide the fear
But now that you're gone I can't pretend
That I don't feel it breaking deep within

[bridge]
Maybe if I told you what was underneath
Maybe if I let the armor fall
You'd have stayed to see the boy beneath the wall
Instead of just the mask I wore for all

[chorus]
I was taught to swallow every single tear
Stand up straight and hide the fear
But now that you're gone I can't pretend
That I don't feel it breaking deep within
