Lend Me Your Ear

Verse 1 They called me broken like they knew my name, Like every tear meant I should feel ashamed. But they don’t see the wars I fight at night, Or how I’m still reaching for the light. Some days the world feels too loud to hear, Some days the future disappears. But I’m not a label, I’m not a wound, I’m just a soul trying to make it through. Pre-Chorus So don’t stand far away and stare, Don’t whisper like I’m not right there. I don’t need judgment in the room, I need a hand to pull me through. Verse 2 Everybody’s carrying a hidden storm, Trying to look normal, trying to stay warm. Some wear a smile like armor on skin, While thunder keeps rolling deep within. So don’t call me crazy when I’m overwhelmed, Don’t leave me drowning by myself. Guide me gently, speak with care, Remind me there is help out there. Pre-Chorus And if my voice begins to shake, Please don’t turn from what I say. Sometimes the bravest thing we do Is ask for help to make it through. Chorus Lend me your ear, sit with me here, You don’t have to fix the fear. Just let me know I’m not alone, Help me find my way back home. We’re all fighting something no one can see, Afraid of the unknown underneath. I’m not unwell, I’m human, dear— Just hold the space, lend me your ear. Bridge Don’t make me a warning, Don’t make me a ghost. I need understanding When I need it most. Point me toward healing, Walk beside my pain, Sometimes love is listening Until I breathe again. Final Chorus Lend me your ear, sit with me here, You don’t have to fix the fear. Just let me know I’m not alone, Help me find my way back home. We’re all fighting something no one can see, Afraid of the unknown underneath. I’m not unwell, I’m human, dear— Just hold the space, lend me your ear. Outro We are not broken beyond repair, We are still worthy of love and care. When the night gets hard to bear, Be the one who’s standing there.
