[Intro]
Hey listener, Lupeh here
If they laughed at your pain too
This one’s for you
[Verse 1]
They crack a joke at my expense
I smile like it don’t land
Laugh along so no one sees
How hard I bite my hands
“Lighten up,” “it’s just a joke”
Yeah, I know that line by heart
But some laughs leave bruises
Even when they don’t leave marks
Family don’t always get it
How loud a quiet hurt can be
How you can sit inside a room
And still feel lonely in the heat
So I wear a grin like armor
Play it off and keep it light
Then carry all that weight alone
When I’m by myself at night
[Chorus]
But I get up
Even when it cuts deep
I get up
Even when the hurt don’t sleep
If you’ve been smiling through the damage
Trying not to fall apart
You’re not weak and you’re not crazy
You’ve just been carrying it hard
So get up
If you’re hurting, I am too
Get up
I’ll keep walking there with you
If the people close don’t get it
That don’t mean your pain ain’t true
We can stand up through the pressure
And keep pushing through
[Verse 2]
I know what it’s like to hear
Your pain turned into a punchline
To let it pass across the table
Then replay it ten more times
To wonder if you’re too sensitive
Or if it really hit that deep
To hold it in so long it follows
Every hour that you sleep
But if you hear this, hear me clearly
You don’t have to fake okay
You don’t have to make it funny
Just to help them look away
If your heart’s been getting heavy
If your smile’s been wearing thin
Then lean into this song tonight
And let it help you stand again
[Final Chorus]
So get up
Even if it cuts deep
Get up
Even if the hurt don’t sleep
If you’ve been smiling through the damage
Trying not to fall apart
You’re not weak and you’re not crazy
You’ve just been carrying it hard
So get up
If you’re hurting, I am too
Get up
I’ll keep walking there with you
If the people close don’t get it
That don’t mean your pain ain’t true
We can stand up through the pressure
And keep pushing through
