Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up tangled in the bedsheets
Heart doing laps in my chest
Phone lit up from the nightstand
I just flip it
Let it rest
Got a mirror I avoid now
Can’t stare him in the face
Every small thing feels like mountains
I’m still standing in one place
[Chorus – Female Hook]
You don’t know what it’s like
When it hurts just to breathe
Every breath is a fight
Every thought on repeat
You don’t know what it’s like
When the dark never leaves
You don’t know
You don’t know
What it’s like for me
[Verse 2]
Laugh lines fading in the group chat
I type “I’m good”
Hit send
I’m the ghost inside the photo
They keep tagging like a friend
I keep drowning in the daylight
Smile stitched on like a sleeve
Every inhale feels like barbed wire
Every exhale’s disbelief
[Chorus – Female Hook]
You don’t know what it’s like
When it hurts just to breathe
Every breath is a fight
Every thought on repeat
You don’t know what it’s like
When the dark never leaves
You don’t know
You don’t know
What it’s like for me
[Bridge – Male & Female]
[Male]
If I say I’m tired
Will you hear me
Or just tell me “try to sleep”?
I’ve been talking to the ceiling
’Cause it’s cheaper than to weep
[Female
Soft under]
(I hear you, I hear you)
[Male]
If I hand you all my damage
Would you hold it
Would you stay?
[Female]
I can’t feel your every heartbeat
But I’m reaching anyway (anyway)
[Chorus – Male Lead
Female Hook]
[Male]
You don’t know what it’s like
When it hurts just to breathe
When you wake up already
On your knees
[Female]
You don’t know what it’s like
When the dark never leaves
You don’t know
You don’t know
[Together]
What it’s like to bleed
Just to even breathe
You don’t know
You don’t know
What it’s like for me
