[Intro] I open my mouth The room bites back I start a sentence It gets pulled apart [Verse 1] I tried to explain (Enough) My hands were shaking I still made the same Concentration causes pain (Stop it) Every word I reach for Gets crushed in the gate [Pre-Chorus] You hurt for trying I hear that slam No I am not lying But you won’t let me land My breath gets thinner Your noise gets loud I’m small for a second Then I count out loud [Chorus] I tried to explain I tried to explain You hurt for trying You hurt for trying No I am not lying No I am not lying I’m done disappearing I’m done disappearing [Verse 2] Back and forth again You cut me mid-swing I raise my voice a little You triple everything My words trail off Under your cold machine But my chest keeps beating Like a war drum dream [Pre-Chorus] You hurt for trying I hear that slam No I am not lying But I won’t fold again My breath gets thicker Your noise gets low I’m small for a second Then I let it go [Chorus] I tried to explain I tried to explain You hurt for trying You hurt for trying No I am not lying No I am not lying I’m done disappearing I’m done disappearing [Bridge] I got tabs open, three alarms, and a cup gone cold Keys in the bowl, phone face-down, trying to hold Every thought comes in loud like a checkout line But I’m still here, still standing in the spill of my mind [Final Chorus] I tried to explain I tried to explain Concentration causes pain Concentration causes pain You hurt for trying I hurt, but I’m here No I am not lying No I am not lying I’m done disappearing I’m done disappearing [Outro] Now it goes quiet My breath stays whole Your walls went silent I found my own pulse Soft air in the frame No more fight in the wire I’m still here And I’m not getting smaller
