Smiles are calculated light
Silence plays like honesty
I pretend to connect, without really touching
Lonely by nature, afraid of the weight
Still wanting love, without a name
Wrapped in pride, stitched with lies
My truth hides in the shadows
I don’t belong to a place or a name
I wear my past like cologne in the rain
Too much to tell, too quiet to scream
Caught in the space between truth and a dream
Holding your gaze, but not letting you in
This is my pride. This is my skin
I hate my homeland, but I carry it still
With every heartbeat, it haunts and it heals
I’m angry, yeah—most of the time
But you’d never know, I smile just fine
Love me, but don’t come too close
I don’t live in anyone’s home
I’ve waited for someone to touch my soul
But I’m better off alone
Too much to tell, too quiet to scream
Wearing my wounds like a tailored dream
You think you see me, but this isn’t me
This is my pride. This is my scheme
In the noise of this perfect city
I choose silence, I choose pretty
I choose to stay
Too much to tell. So I walk away

Too Much to Tell
Emyu
"Too much to tell, still too much to feel."
Unspoken emotions melt into the shadows of the city.
A sharp and quiet soundscape where neo-soul meets electro R&B.
This track unveils the darker side of "the me beyond words"-
the self that swallows feelings whole.
Within a restrained voice lie contradictions and inner conflict.
Even while facing the past, the true self remains hidden from everyone.
To all those who stand alone in the city at night,
unable to speak their truth-
this song is for you.
