[Verse 1] I smile at the door Then lock it behind me Heard you ask, “you good?” I said, “yeah, just tired” My hands on the sink Hold more than the water There’s a lump in my throat That won’t say its name [Pre-Chorus] I almost tell you Then I swallow it down My chest gets loud But my mouth stays small I hold the ache Like a glass in my palm One wrong move And I’m all over the floor [Chorus] Too scared to say it Too scared to say it I’m breaking inside But I keep it quiet Too scared to say it Too scared to say it If I open my heart Will it stay there with me? [Verse 2] The room feels heavy Even with all the windows open I laugh a little too late At jokes I don’t hear My phone face down Like it’s better that way If I don’t answer I can’t tell the truth [Pre-Chorus] I almost call you Then I freeze in the dark My thoughts are sharp But my tongue won’t start I wear “I’m fine” Like a coat in the rain If you look too close You might see the stain [Chorus] Too scared to say it Too scared to say it I’m breaking inside But I keep it quiet Too scared to say it Too scared to say it If I open my heart Will it stay there with me? [Bridge] Maybe I’m not weak Maybe I’m just shaken Maybe words are hard When the hurt is naked So I breathe it in And I let it shake One small truth Is a brave mistake [Final Chorus] Too scared to say it Too scared to say it I’m breaking inside But I keep it quiet Too scared to say it Too scared to say it Say my name gently And stay here with me Too scared to say it Too scared to say it If I open my heart Will it stay there with me?
