Let Me Feel Safe

Verse 1

Phones flashing, faces hiding

Words sharper than a warning

Scroll alone in the hallway

Silence crawling, no one calling

Days drag, hope cracks

Two words sting, then six more

I try talking, but my voice shakes

Just posts and names that I ignore

Fears flood in, old wounds open

Bit by bit, I break inside

Every message, every mention

Got nowhere left to hide

Chorus

Why are you coming at me?

Why does the pain stay?

Why do you never see me?

Why do you turn away?

Every night it's the same

I try to let it fade

Why can't you just hear me?

Why do you call me names?

Post-Chorus

Let me breathe

Let me heal

Let me feel safe here

Let me breathe

Let me heal

Let me feel safe

Verse 2

Screens glow, secrets kept

Laughing in lines I read

Fake friends, broken trends

I've tried, I've bled, I've pled

Half my heart hollowed out

Threats fall with frequency

No relief, just disbelief

Sometimes I wish they'd see

You send and press, don't guess

How it hurts my every day

You joke and throw and leave

I'm just trying to stay

Chorus

Why are you coming at me?

Why does the pain stay?

Why do you never see me?

Why do you turn away?

Every night it's the same

I try to let it fade

Why can't you just hear me?

Why do you call me names?

Post-Chorus

Let me breathe

Let me heal

Let me feel safe here

Let me breathe

Let me heal

Let me feel safe

Bridge

And I wonder, sitting staring

If they're hurting too

I wonder, silent caring

If they'll break through

Again and again, it's endless

And I just want the truth

Sticks and stones, but words—

Words bruise, too

Chorus

Why are you coming at me?

Why does the pain stay?

Why do you never see me?

Why do you turn away?

Every night it's the same

I try to let it fade

Why can't you just hear me?

Why do you call me names?

Post-Chorus

Let me breathe

Let me heal

Let me feel safe here

Let me breathe

Let me heal

Let me feel safe

Outro

Let me breathe

Let me heal

Let me feel safe
