Make A Sound
Lou Doillon Lyrics

Oh I am weary,
I am very tired and feeling worn out.

Oh I am torn
I am emotionally hurt and feel like I'm breaking apart.

And I try to smile,
Despite feeling exhausted or in pain, I attempt to appear happy.

And I swallow the thorns,
I accept the painful parts of my life and try to deal with them.

Ooo I am acid
I feel internally damaged and unstable.

And broken down,
I feel like I am falling apart inside and unable to keep going.

And I try to pretend
I attempt to act like everything is okay even when it is not.

I'm fine, on my own, on my own, on my own.
I am trying to cope without any help, even though it is difficult.

How many times,
I have been knocked down or felt defeated too many times.

Can you stumble to the ground
It is difficult to keep going when you keep experiencing challenges or failures.

And get back up?
It is a challenge to keep getting back up after being knocked down so many times.

No, don't you bother I'm fine
I do not want to burden others with my struggles and prefer to handle them on my own.

Oh the lights you adore,
The things that bring you joy and happiness are actually hurting me even more.

They're burning me down,
I am being consumed by the things that bring you happiness.

And as hard as I try,
Even if I want to, I cannot bring myself to share your joy.

I can't hold your hand, hold your hand, hold your hand.
I am not able to connect with you emotionally and offer you support.

Cause the chips on my shoulders,
I am carrying a lot of emotional weight and baggage due to my past.

They're dragging me down,
My past traumas and struggles are weighing me down and holding me back.

Like leaded wings
My emotional baggage is heavy and dragging me down like heavy wings.

They keep me shackled to the ground,
My past traumas are keeping me from moving forward and progressing in life.

They don't lift me that high
My past traumas and struggles are not allowing me to reach my full potential.

So I'll hide at the bottom,
I prefer to retreat and hide from the world rather than face the pain and trauma in my life.

And I'll rest for a while, for a while
I need time to take care of myself and recover from the emotional toll of my past.

Oh I am tired and blue,
I am exhausted and sad.

And I can't pretend,
I am unable to put on a facade of happiness and well-being anymore.

It's because of you
Your happiness is hurting me and exacerbating my own troubles.

Oh the arrows they blow,
The emotional pain and trauma I have experienced is overwhelming and painful.

They're striking me down
My emotional pain and trauma is so debilitating and overwhelming that it is bringing me to my knees.

And as hard as I try,
Despite my best efforts, I am unable to communicate my pain and trauma.

I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound
My emotional pain and trauma is too strong and I am unable to vocalize it.

No I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound
My emotional pain and trauma is so strong that I am completely silenced.

I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound
My emotional pain and trauma is so strong that I am completely silenced.

I can't make a sound, make a sound, make a sound.
My emotional pain and trauma is so strong that I am completely silenced.
