Help Me Out (Just This Once)

[Verse 1]

I’m stumbling over moments that I swore I had aligned,
Trying to hold the pieces but they’re slipping from my mind.
I keep pretending I can juggle every burning little doubt,
But honestly, I think it’s time I finally say it out loud.

[Chorus]

Help me out — I’m tangled in the things I never say.
Help me out — I’m losing all the lines along the way.
Help me out — I’m tired of acting like I’ve got it figured out.
Help me out, help me out, before I vanish in the crowd.

[Verse 2]

I’ve got this habit of defending every crack inside my frame,
Like if I let someone get close they’ll never see me the same.
But maybe breaking isn’t failing, maybe falling’s just a sign
That I could use a steady shoulder for a moment in time.

[Bridge]

I’m trying to step forward but the ground keeps bending back,
And I’m tired of drawing maps that never keep me on the track.
So if you’ve got a second and you’re willing just to stay,
I could use a word or two to push the shadows all away.

[Chorus]

Help me out — I’m tangled in the things I never say.
Help me out — I’m losing all the lines along the way.
Help me out — I’m tired of acting like I’ve got it figured out.
Help me out, help me out, before I vanish in the crowd.

[Outro]

My voice is kinda shaky ‘cause I never ask like this,
But I’m hoping you can hear me through the fog I always twist.
I don’t need a perfect rescue, just a hand that’s reaching down—
A tiny spark of kindness when the world feels upside-down.
