Don’t Talk or Save Me

Somebody said don’t depend on anybody

But I’m calling out

Can anybody hear me now?

⸻

Somebody once tried to tell me

“Don’t lean on anyone else”

Now I’m begging for help

Tryna save me from myself

Reaching for a hand in the dark

Just to know I’m not alone

Every time I fall apart

I pretend I’m made of stone

I don’t like going there

But I don’t know how to leave

Once I sink too deep inside

It gets harder just to breathe

Friends fade out like static

Left me bleeding in my thoughts

Laid out on the pavement

Hoping someone hears the call

Every secret that I carry

Got a weight I can’t outrun

Bad decisions, broken visions

I don’t know what I’ve become

And the cruelest part is knowing

I still blame it all on me

How you walk away so easy

While I’m drowning silently

⸻

Don’t ask me how I’m doing

I’ll lie straight to your face

Smile wide for the room

Then collapse in private space

⸻

Somebody come save me please

I’m reaching but you don’t see

I just wanna feel believed

Tell me I’m not a disease

Wake up, fake it, play the part

Hide the storm inside my heart

Don’t talk, don’t break, don’t fall apart

Middle of a miserable world so dark

Don’t talk about it

Don’t talk about it

Just breathe through it

Don’t talk about it

⸻

What do you do when waking up

Feels heavier than sleep?

When every thought is loud enough

To drag you underneath

Up all night replaying scenes

Of everything you’d change

Wishing you could rewrite life

But stuck inside the frame

Hyperventilating slow

Bricks stacked on my chest

Every memory I hold

Turning into stress

They say they wanna help me

But it feels like a trap

How you fix a broken mind

When it’s wired like that?

Lost inside a sea of sorrow

Floating without shore

If no one cares about today

Why should I care about tomorrow?

⸻

But wait —

Somewhere in the noise I hear

A voice that sounds like mine

Saying, “you don’t have to disappear

Just survive one more night”

Maybe healing isn’t loud

Maybe it’s a whisper

Maybe it’s the moment

You admit you still want to live here

⸻

Somebody don’t save me — stay

Sit with me while I shake

I don’t need you to fix the pain

Just tell me I’m okay

Wake up, breathing, still alive

That’s a victory tonight

Don’t talk — just hold the light

Middle of the dark, I’ll fight

Talk about it

We can talk about it

I’m still here now

I’ll talk about it

⸻

Somebody once said don’t depend on anybody

Maybe they were wrong

Maybe we survive by holding on
