Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1: I need a place to lean, somewhere I can breathe Someone to hear me cry, not just tell me to leave I always smiled, held it in so tight Behind these eyes, I fought every night They say I’m just a kid, like that makes it light But I carry storms, trying not to ignite I try not to speak, try not to break But silence don’t fix the way my heart aches Chorus: I need somewhere to cry out, somewhere to scream Someone to hold me, not tear at my seams I’m tired of being strong when no one sees I’m breaking down, don’t look at me Like I’m weak, like I ain’t trying I’m still here, even while I’m crying All I want is a place to lean Somewhere to fall, and still be seen Verse 2: I was the one who listened, gave all I had Always the shoulder, never got that back Now my chest is heavy, and my hands shake But I smile, fake it — for everyone’s sake They say I’m too young to feel this deep But they don’t know the weight I keep This burden’s mine, I never chose But I’ve carried it far — alone, composed Chorus: I need somewhere to cry out, somewhere to scream Someone to hold me, not tear at my seams I’m tired of being strong when no one sees I’m breaking down, don’t look at me Like I’m weak, like I ain’t trying I’m still here, even while I’m crying All I want is a place to lean Somewhere to fall, and still be seen Bridge: Don’t tell me I’m too young to feel These scars are proof that pain is real I don’t want fixing, just someone near To say, “I see you, I’m right here” Final Chorus: I need somewhere to cry out, somewhere to scream Someone to hold me, not tear at my seams Not a judge, not a voice that stings Just a heart that hears, and listening brings I’m breaking down, please let me be Not weak, just human — just needing peace All I want is a place to lean Somewhere to fall... And still be seen ---
