Ninguém Me Ouviu

From a young age, I learned to say: Everything's alright
Even when my chest screamed that it wasn't there either
He spoke softly, without knowing who he was speaking to
Nobody was listening, and I pretended I was fine

Every time I said I was fine, it was to disguise the pain
To hide from myself what's left of love
And every word I tried to say
It was coming back to me, with no one to hear it

What if I spoke about what I've been hiding from myself?
Would anyone stay until the end?
Or was he just pretending to understand me?
So you'll have something to say after I'm gone?

Nobody heard me, nobody felt me
I got lost in the pain that time built
I screamed so loud that even I disappeared
And the rest pretended I never lived

I grew up thinking that being strong meant keeping quiet
That crying in front of others was a sign of weakness
And today I only speak when the pain allows me to
Because I've learned that nobody insists

I turned pain into a song, fear into a home
I got used to not expecting anything
And now that I've learned not to speak
That's when the world comes looking for me

And if I disappear, will they even notice?
Or do you only remember when it's time to post?
Because true love doesn't come from stories
It comes from those who remain when the world is odd

Nobody heard me, nobody felt me
I got lost in the pain that time built
I pretended to be strong until I fell
Just to prove that I could pretend

They told me that everything passes, but they didn't say where it passes
Maybe go inside, maybe hide
And when the voice fades, the heart speaks
But nobody understands what he keeps silent about

It's too late now, I've learned to accept it
Not all pain needs to be screamed
Perhaps I've said too much
For those who never wanted to listen to me, ever

Today the wind speaks for me
Carry what's left from here
What if nobody remembers what I've been through?
Everything's fine, I listened to myself, finally

Nobody heard me, nobody felt me
I got lost in the pain that time built
But if this is my last voice
Let it stay on the air, just to show that I existed
