She Didn't See Me Fall

Tried to be the man you knew,
But grief don't ask for permission,
It just breaks right through.
You saw me change, but you didn't stay.
She didn't see me fall, didn't see the nights I cried,
Didn't see me losing pieces.
I was trying hard to hide, I was drowning in the silence,
In a life I couldn't hold.
But she walked past my breaking like I was growing cold.
I found the bottle in the evenings,
Just to quiet down my head.
Every memory of your mother turned to echoes instead.
You stopped calling like you used to,
Stopped asking if I'm okay.
