[Verse 1]
This weight in my chest, it's killing me slow
I fake a smile, but I’m ready to blow
I’ve carried it all, now I’m breaking apart
Losing myself with each beat of my heart
[Pre-Chorus]
No one hears me when I scream
I’m stuck inside this silent dream
Still pushing forward, stuck in rewind
Chasing something I can’t find
[Chorus]
I’m holding on by a fraying thread
Tired of lies inside my head
I’m overwhelmed, sinking in the dark
Just trying to fix this shattered heart
I wanna scream and cry at the same damn time
But the pain’s too deep to define
There’s so much I can’t explain
Only I can feel this strain
[Verse 2]
I walk through the noise, but I feel unseen
They think I’m fine, but I’m just routine
No one asks what’s underneath
Just surface talk and borrowed peace
I smile ‘cause it’s what they expect
But inside, I’m a quiet wreck
Every laugh feels like a lie
While a thousand truths just scream inside
[Pre-Chorus]
The world keeps turning, I stand still
Swallowing pain against my will
Holding it in, but losing control
No one sees I’m not whole
[Chorus]
I’m holding on by a fraying thread
Tired of lies inside my head
I’m overwhelmed, sinking in the dark
Just trying to fix this shattered heart
I wanna scream and cry at the same damn time
But the storm won’t let it unwind
There’s so much I’ll never tell
Locked inside my private hell
[Bridge – Breakdown]
My chest is heavy I can’t breathe
I’m drowning silently beneath
Please... help me, I don’t wanna fall
But this weight feels like it’s crushing it all
I wish I could let it out, but I choke
Every word I need to say just broke
I wanna run away, and stay away
From everything that's weighing me
This burden’s mine, too raw to share
Like no one else would even care
[Final Chorus ]
I’m holding on, yeah, but barely so
Tired of pretending I’ve got control
I’m breaking down, falling apart
Still chasing peace in a heavy heart
I wanna scream and cry till I’m dry inside
But I bury it where it can’t be pried
So hear me now I won’t fade out tonight
[Outro ]
Too loud inside…
Please… help me…
My chest is heavy…
I’m buried where no one can find.
