Lyrics: Anthony Madrigal
Music: Anthony Madrigal
When I say that word,
I just mean I'm tired.
Bones like bricks,
heartbroken and my soul so uninspired.
I've lost so much, I've given what I could give.
Checked every box, still wondering if I deserve to live.
I'm not asking you to fix this,
just sit beside the hurt when I say I'm breaking.
Hear the weight behind the words.
I don't need your answers.
I just need your world to blur,
till all that's left is silence,
and me enough to be heard.
I've done the work.
Stay late, stay kind,clap for everyone,
then fell behind.
Every gold star just slips right through my hands.
And you hold my name like you finally understand.
I'm not asking you to fix this,
just sit beside the hurt when I say I'm breaking.
Hear the weight behind the words.
I don't need your answers.
I just need your world to blur,
till all that's left is silence,
and me enough to be heard.
Don't tell me I'm lucky, don't tell me I'm blessed,
just tell me it's heavy.
And you're feeling it in your chest.
Look me in the eyes.
Let the quiet do the work.
Sometimes the softest sound here is the loudest on this earth.
I'm not asking you to fix this, just sit beside the hurt.
When I say I'm breaking, hear the weight behind the words.
I don't need your answers,
I just need your world to blur,
till all that's left is silence,
and me enough to be heard.
