Lyrics

Verse 1
I walk the night with quiet tears,
Hiding every cry no one can hear.
A little heart in a world so loud,
Trying to smile, but I’m lost in a crowd.
Holding on to whispers, soft and small,
Trying to stand when I just want to fall.
Frozen inside, but I still try,
Learning to live when I don’t know why.
Pre-Chorus
No one saw the storm beneath my skin,
The battles I fought, again and again.
Chorus
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still alive,
Trying not to break while I learn to survive.
I’ve carried every tear no one else could see,
Hoping someone holds the broken part of me.
And even when the world feels cold instead,
I’m still here—still hanging by a thread.
Verse 2
They never knew the words that cut so deep,
The names they whispered when I tried to sleep.
I held my breath just to stay unseen,
But silence isn’t always what it seems.
I wasn’t born with a heart of stone,
I just learned to fight the world alone.
But maybe love can melt the ice,
And heal the pain beneath the lies.
Pre-Chorus
If someone takes my hand and stays,
Maybe I can learn to find my place.
Chorus
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’m still alive,
Trying not to break while I learn to survive.
I’ve carried every tear no one else could see,
Hoping someone holds the broken part of me.
And even when the world feels cold instead,
I’m still here—still hanging by a thread.
Bridge (soft, fragile, spoken-sung Julio style)
Maybe love is just a tiny spark,
A light that finds you in the dark.
And when the world forgets to care,
Let me know you’re standing there.
Final Chorus (bigger, strings + choir)
I’m hanging by a thread, but I’ll rise again,
Turning quiet tears into strength within.
If love can hold the pieces of who I've been,
Maybe I’ll learn to breathe again.
And even when the night falls deep and dread…
I’ll still be here—no longer just a thread.
Outro (whisper)
Still here.
Still holding on.
Still me
