Lyrics

Late night, staring at the ceiling,
Thoughts too loud, no sign of healing.
Hands shake, phone face down,
But I can't stop the voices now.
Been smiling like I'm fine, but I'm barely holding on,
Every "How you doin'?" met with "Yeah, I'm stayin' strong."
I don't wanna talk, they wouldn't get it anyway,
Tired of pretending I'll be okay.
Same four walls, same old fight,
Same fake laugh when they ask, "You alright?"
I wrote a note, but I threw it away,
I don't wanna go, but I can't find a way…
Hold on, I know it's hard to see,
But there's more than pain inside of me.
I don't wanna be a memory,
So I'll hold on… even if it's just barely.
Days blur, nights drag, can't escape my mind,
People say it gets better, but they never say when or why.
Tryna fake a future, but I'm stuck inside the past,
Every second feels too heavy, wonderin' if I'll last.
Tired of runnin', tired of lyin',
Tired of sayin' "I'm good" when inside I'm dyin'.
Nobody sees it, nobody knows,
I scream in the dark where nobody goes.
Hold on, I know it's hard to see,
But there's more than pain inside of me.
I don't wanna be a memory,
So I'll hold on… even if it's just barely.
Man, I been sittin' in the dark with a fist full of reasons,
Thinkin' 'bout the past and the pain that I'm keepin'.
Every little scar, every word left unsaid,
Every night wonderin' if I'd be better off dead.
Clock hands movin' but they feel too slow,
Room so cold, got nowhere to go.
Thoughts keep runnin', hands keep shakin',
Tryna hold tight but I feel like breakin'.
Wait
Pick up the phone, there's a number to call,
You ain't gotta fight this battle alone at all.
9-8-8 yeah, just press that line,
Somebody's listenin', it ain't your time.
Hold on, I know it's hard to see,
But there's more than pain inside of me.
I don't wanna be a memory,
So I'll hold on… even if it's just barely.
Tonight, I made it through,
Tomorrow, maybe so will you.
So I'll hold on… even if it's just barely.
