Prompt
Verse 1)
I’ve been silent for too long
The pain has nowhere to go
I try and speak, but nothing comes out.
It’s easier to let it show
(Pre-Chorus)
The bottle is softer to swallow
Than admitting I need someone by my side.
Smoke is easier to inhale than admitting I need help.
(Chorus)
Under my skin, I’m tearing apart
I thought I could handle it, it’s tearing my heart
I’ve built up these walls, but they’re crashing down
I’ve been hiding for so long, now I can’t turn around
I’m screaming inside, but you can’t hear a thing
And I’m drowning in silence, trying to cling
I’ve been pretending I’m fine, but I’m losing the fight
I’m holding it together, but it’s shattering tonight
(Verse 2)
Take a look at what you’ve done.
You made it go too far.
Those words stuck in my mind.
And when I close my eyes,
I see memories that make me curl up inside.
(Pre-Chorus)
The bottle is softer to swallow
Than admitting I need someone by my side.
Smoke is easier to inhale than admitting I need help.
(Chorus)
Under my skin, I’m tearing apart
I thought I could handle it, but it’s tearing my heart
I’ve built up these walls, but they’re crashing down
I’ve been hiding for so long, now I can’t turn around
I’m screaming inside, but you can’t hear a thing
And I’m drowning in silence, trying to cling
I’ve been pretending I’m fine, but I’m losing the fight
I’m holding it together, but it’s shattering tonight
(Bridge)
I don’t want to feel like this anymore
But I don’t know how to escape
Every time I think I’m done,
It pulls me back in, pulls me back in
(Chorus)
Inside of me, I’m breaking down
I thought that I could take it, but it’s tearing my heart out
I’ve put up these walls, but they’re crashing down
I’ve been hiding for so long, now I can’t turn around
I’m screaming inside, but you can’t hear a thing
And I’m drowning in silence, trying to cling
I’ve been pretending I’m fine, but I’m losing the fight
I’m holding it together, but it’s shattering tonight
(Outro)
Beneath my skin, the truth is raw,
And I don’t know if I can heal it all I guess u could say I’m fighting for a life I don’t even want.
