Can You Hear Me

[Intro] (Yeah) (I don't usually ask for help) (But you know I need it) [Verse 1] Lately I've been fighting my thoughts Trying to smile like everything's okay But when the room gets quiet That's when my mind starts drifting away I've been giving all of me Trying to be who they expect me to be But I'm tired of the pretending Like I don't feel the weight in my chest I don't know where I lost myself Somewhere between love and pain I just need somebody who understands me before I break [Chorus] Can you hear me? When I say I'm not alright Can you see me? Even when I hide behind a smile I don't need you to save me Just sit with me a while Can you hear me? When I'm calling out tonight [Verse 2] I've been holding this so long Trying to be strong for everyone else I'm the only one who never asks for help Every scar got a story Every tear never cried I've been drowning in my silence Trying to keep my pride alive I don't want to fall apart But I'm closer than I should be I just need someone to listen before I let go [Chorus] Can you hear me? When I say I'm not alright (Say I'm not alright) Can you see me? Even when I hide behind a smile I don't need you to save me Just sit with me a while Can you hear me? When I'm calling out tonight [Bridge] I ain't asking for perfection I ain't looking for a cure I just need to know somebody's got my back when life gets hard If you ever felt this way Then you know how deep it goes Sometimes all a man needs is to not be alone [Chorus] Can you hear me? When I say I'm not okay Can you hold me? Without judging what I say I don't need the answers Just don't walk away Can you hear me? When I'm calling out this way [Outro] (Yeah) (Just stay here) (Just try to breathe)
