[INTRO — breathy / intimate] I fade into the background No one knows I'm barely holding on Every room feels way too loud So I lose myself inside the sound When the world gets hard to breathe in When I can't explain the feeling There's a place where I don't have to hide Just me and the music late at night [VERSE 1 — restrained] My heart is racing up my throat I'm trying hard to stay afloat There's pressure building in my chest But I keep saying, "I'm okay, I'm fine, I'm fine" My hands are shaking underneath But nobody can see it I laugh at every stupid joke Like nothing's wrong with me Smile for the camera Play along, pretend Tell them what they wanna hear And do it all again [PRE-DROP — rising] "You're fine..." That's what I say "You're fine..." Then look away But you don't hear the noise You don't feel what's in my head I'm screaming underneath Every word I never said [DROP — heavy / chopped vocal] LET IT CRACK Let it break Let the whole thing shake LET IT CRACK Don't hold back You don't have to fake Don't say you're fine When you're barely alive Let it out Let it hit Let it tear through the night LET IT CRACK [VERSE 2 — melodic / vulnerable] I've gotten way too good at hiding Smiling while I'm terrified Nobody sees the war I'm fighting 'Cause I learned how to look alright I say, "I'm good," without a thought Like it's something I've been taught Keep it together Don't make a scene Give them the version of me they wanna see But every night when the lights go down I hear everything I buried underground And I wonder... How long can I keep pretending That I'm not breaking? [BUILD — emotional → powerful] So let my hands shake Let my voice break Let the tears fall Let the silence take I don't wanna fake it I don't wanna hide I don't wanna say "I'm fine" When I'm dying inside So if the mask falls— LET IT FALL. If I lose control— LET ME LOSE IT ALL. [FINAL DROP — massive] LET IT CRACK Let the whole thing break LET IT CRACK Feel the weight give way Don't say you're fine Don't swallow the pain You don't have to smile Through another day LET IT CRACK Let the mask hit the floor LET IT CRACK I don't need it anymore Lose control Breathe it in Feel it all Let the healing begin LET IT CRACK LET IT CRACK LET IT CRACK— [OUTRO — soft / vulnerable] Maybe I was never broken Maybe I was just afraid to open I don't have to hide tonight I don't have to tell another lie I'm not fine... And that's okay.
