No One Heard Me Crying

Verse

Mmm… when I was just a little girl, the walls were shaken by the fight,

Mama crying in the corner, daddy yelling through the night.

I held my brothers close, I said, “Baby, don’t you be afraid…”

But inside I was breaking…

I was just a child tryna be brave…

And then the darkness came from someone I should’ve been able to trust,

My uncle stole the light from me… left my innocence in dust.

Changing clothes with eyes on me I never wanted near…

Holding all that shame alone,

When it should’ve never been mine to bear…

Pre-chorus

I cried out softly…

But nobody… nobody turned their head…

Chorus

No one heard me cry-yyyying

No one saw me break—ohhh

I was just a little girl tryin’

Tryin’ to make it through the ache.

These scars I keep on hidin’

Tell a story they can’t erase…

No one heard me crying…

But I’m still here…

I’m still here by grace.

Verse

Sixteen years old… asleep beside the one I thought I knew,

Woke up to a nightmare… he took what he had no right to.

And I blamed myself for years, though my soul knew it wasn’t me…

Another piece torn away in silence,

Another wound no one could see.

People throw their words like stones, say they know my life, my pain,

But they never lived a moment in this fire, in this rain.

I screamed in silence while the world just walked on by…

Trying to heal a past

That still makes me cry.

Pre-chorus

I cried out softly…

But nobody… nobody heard my name…

Chorus

No one heard me cry-yyyying

No one saw me break—oooooh

I was only tryin’

To make it through the shame.

These scars I keep on hidin’

Tell a story they can’t take…

No one heard me crying…

But I’m still here—

Stronger than they made.

Bridge

One day I’ll breathe again,

Let that little girl inside me finally mend…

I’m not their darkness, no—

I’m the fire that refused to end.

Oh, I’m rising from the hurt,

Rising from the pain they gave…

I’m the woman who survived it—

Not the girl they tried to break.

Chorus

No one heard me cry-yyyying

No one saw me fall—oooooh

But now I’m rising,

I’m rising through it all.

These scars I keep on hidin’

Turn to strength they can’t replace…

No one heard me crying…

But I’m still here—

And I’m not erased.

I’m not erased…

No, I’m not erased…
