歌詞

I want you to understand me

But I don’t want anyone too close

Even kindness sometimes feels

Like a blade against my soul

Through the glow of my phone at night

I can’t keep up with their smiles

Left behind, I blame myself

Breaking down inside

I want to laugh but I can’t fake it

This mask I wear, I can’t shake it

No key to open up my heart

I’m sinking deeper in the dark

“Are you okay?” they ask me again

I cover the cracks, I play pretend

Hiding the truth so no one can see

These lies are the shield protecting me

I want to cry, right here, right now

I want to scream it all somehow

But I’m so scared you’ll walk away

So I keep it silent every day

Afraid of being hated, I hide my pain

But still I’m breathing through the rain

Even if no one understands

I’m still alive, I’ll take a stand

“Are you okay?” they ask me again

I cover the cracks, I play pretend

Hiding the truth so no one can see

These lies are the shield protecting me

I want to cry, but I hold it inside

Still I’m here, still I survive

Even with a heart so torn apart

I’m living on with a fragile heart
