It hurts to be strong

I feel like the worst thing to do is become a carbon copy of somebody Saying sorry too many times Doubting myself I don't know if it's ok anymore Honestly,the times i was with a friend i was treated poorly....it sucks to know that (Verse 1) Hey. Are you busy? Can I just... sit here for a minute? My brain is loud today, and honestly, my chest feels heavy. I didn't even mean to call, but you're the only one Who doesn't tell me to "look on the bright side" when it's done. Done being strong, I mean. (Verse 2) Remember last year? When we thought that was the bottom? We laughed about it, or at least we tried to spot 'em— The silver linings. God, we were so naive. Since then, it's just been wave after wave, you wouldn't believe. First the job, then the health, then the way they just left, Like a thief in the night, leaving nothing but theft. (Chorus) And I just wanna cry. Not a quiet little tear, not a sigh, I wanna curl up on the floor and just let it break, Let my whole body shatter for old time's sake. I’m so tired of holding the pieces together, Praying for sun through this miserable weather. Yeah, I just wanna cry. (Verse 3) People say "keep your chin up," but my neck is getting sore From looking up at ceilings I don't even know what for. Every morning I wake up and I run the mental math: How many fires do I put out today on this path? It’s exhausting, you know? Just breathing feels like work, And every little setback is a dagger or a jerk. (Verse 4) I went to the grocery store yesterday, and I stood In the middle of the cereal aisle—right there in the neighborhood Of the lucky charms—and I just forgot how to move. Everyone was rushing, trying to get in the groove, And I was just frozen, staring at a box of oats, Feeling like a shipwreck with a million phantom boats. (Chorus) And I just wanna cry. Not a quiet little tear, not a sigh, I wanna curl up on the floor and just let it break, Let my whole body shatter for old time's sake. I’m so tired of holding the pieces together, Praying for sun through this miserable weather. Yeah, I just wanna cry. (Bridge) You know what hurts the most? It’s not even the pain, It’s the fact that nobody notices the constant, driving rain Inside my head. They look at me and say, "You look great!" While my soul is locked outside, screaming at the gate. If I let it out, will it ever stop pouring? Or will I drown in the flood while the world keeps on snoring? (Verse 5) So don't try to fix it. Don't give me advice. Don't tell me time heals, or suggest something nice. Just stay on the phone. Or come over. Whatever. Just witness the mess, and don't make it clever. I'm just a human being who's been hit way too many times, Running out of metaphors, running out of rhymes. (Chorus) And I just wanna cry. Not a quiet little tear, not a sigh, I wanna curl up on the floor and just let it break, Let my whole body shatter for old time's sake. I’m so tired of holding the pieces together, Praying for sun through this miserable weather. Yeah, I just wanna cry. (Outro) Yeah... Just let it out. Can you hear my voice shaking? It’s okay. It’s finally okay to not be okay. (Deep breath) Yeah. I just wanna cry The song healing pretty much hits deep with me,but yeah,i'm too sad to move on Imma just chill on apps for awhile,get my head cleared again.... Don't do anything crazy,love y'all,Peace
