Help Me Out (Just This Once)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
