Lyrics

I learned to hide the cracks beneath the surface
Smile when everybody asked if I'm okay
Got so good at being what they needed
Nobody noticed I was fading every day
I dropped a thousand hints without saying it
Hoping someone might finally read between the lines
But pain gets easy to ignore
When it isn't yours to survive
I've been waving my hands in the dark
Trying to show you where I am
But every cry for help just disappeared
Before it ever had a chance
How far would I have to fall
Before somebody finally sees it all?
Would it take a hospital room for you to realize
What I've been going through?
How loud does a heartbreak have to be
Before it sounds like an emergency?
I've been drowning right in front of your eyes
How far would I have to fall
Before you realize?
I never wanted pity or attention
I just wanted someone to understand
What it feels like fighting every morning
Just to make it through another day again
Everybody says, "Just talk about it"
Like the words are somehow easy to find
But when you're carrying this kind of weight
You learn how to suffer in silence
And every night I tell myself
Tomorrow I'll reach out again
But tomorrow comes and goes
And I'm still breaking underneath my skin
How far would I have to fall
Before somebody finally sees it all?
Would it take a hospital room for you to realize
What I've been going through?
How loud does a heartbreak have to be
Before it sounds like an emergency?
I've been drowning right in front of your eyes
How far would I have to fall
Before you realize?
I don't want a eulogy
I don't want regret
I don't want the words you'll never say
After I'm gone
I need you now, while I'm still here
While I'm still fighting
While I'm still trying to believe
There's a reason to hold on
I shouldn't have to break
For someone to notice the pain
Shouldn't have to lose myself
To prove I needed help
So if you're hearing this tonight
Check on the ones who always say they're fine
Sometimes the loudest cries for help
Never make a sound
And if you're barely holding on
Please don't carry all that hurt alone
You don't have to fall apart
For someone to know your heart
You don't have to fall that far
