Wait For The Answer

Intro – Quiet, shaky vocals

Yeah...

I don't think anybody understands anymore...

I'm tired of telling people I'm okay.

I'm tired of acting like nothing hurts.

I just wish somebody could hear me...

Without me having to explain.

Verse 1 – Slow melodic rap

I've been fighting every day, but I'm losing my strength,

Got a smile on my face, but it's hiding the pain.

I've been hurt so many times, I don't feel the same,

Every person that I loved left a scar with their name.

I remember being happy, now I barely feel alive,

Got a million different thoughts that I keep locked up inside.

I've been asking God for answers, wondering if I'll be alright,

'Cause I'm fighting with depression every single night.

I gave people all my love, they gave me reasons to cry,

I kept forgiving everybody while I suffered inside.

I was hoping they'd be different, but they all said goodbye,

Now I'm scared to love again, I don't know how to try.

Chorus – Emotional singing

I'm so tired of fighting, I'm tired of the pain,

Tired of waking up and feeling exactly the same.

I've been broken so many times, I don't know what remains,

I just wanna feel happy without having to fake.

And I'm screaming on the inside, but nobody hears,

I've been drowning in my thoughts for so many years.

I keep wiping away all these invisible tears,

I'm just begging for a break from everything I fear.

Verse 2 – Faster, emotional flow

I got heartbreak after heartbreak, tell me when does it end?

I keep giving out my heart just to lose it again.

I was there for everybody, where were they when I fell?

I got stories I could tell, but they're too painful to tell.

I've been losing sleep, staring at the walls,

Wondering why everybody leaves whenever I fall.

I don't wanna be a burden, so I don't speak at all,

But sometimes I wish somebody would just answer when I call.

I miss the person I was before the pain took over,

Before every single night felt a little bit colder.

I've been carrying these feelings getting heavier on my shoulders,

And I'm scared that when I'm older, I'll still feel this way.

Bridge – Soft piano, almost crying

Dear God, can You hear me?

I'm trying, I swear.

I just need somebody

To show me that they care.

I'm tired of these battles,

I'm tired of these scars.

I just wanna find some peace,

I don't care how hard.

Final Chorus – Powerful vocals

I'm so tired of fighting, I'm tired of the pain,

Tired of waking up and feeling exactly the same.

I've been broken so many times, but I'm still standing today,

Even when I feel like giving up, I'll find another way.

And I'm screaming on the inside, but nobody hears,

I've been drowning in my thoughts for so many years.

Maybe someday I'll be happy, maybe someday I'll be free,

Maybe someday I'll finally feel like me.

Outro – Whispered vocals

I swear I tried...

I tried to love people right.

I tried to make everybody proud.

I tried to be strong.

But I wish somebody would ask me

If I'm okay...

And actually wait

For the answer.
