Tell Me What's Hurting You

hey…

talk to me

what’s going on in that head tonight?

you’ve been quiet for a while now

hiding tears behind a smile now

I can tell when something hurts you

even when you say you're fine

you don’t have to keep pretending

you don’t always have to hold it

I know you’re tired of surviving

every single night alone

so come sit down beside me

you don’t have to explain everything

just breathe for a minute

tell me what’s hurting you

what keeps your heart awake at night

tell me why your eyes look heavy

like you’ve been fighting your whole life

you don’t have to carry this alone

not while I’m here beside you

even broken things deserve

to be loved gently too

oh-oh

I see you hurting

yeah-yeah

I’m not leaving

I know your mind gets cruel sometimes

turns every silence into goodbye

makes you feel too much

for everybody else to hold

but you are not a burden

for needing someone close

you are not hard to love

just because you feel things deeply

so let the walls come down tonight

you don’t always have to fight alone

tell me what’s breaking you

what’s sitting heavy on your chest

tell me every ugly thought

you keep hiding from the rest

and if your hands start shaking

I’ll hold them through the storm

cause even tired hearts like yours

still deserve somewhere warm

you keep giving love away

like you don’t deserve it back

keep stitching everybody else together

while your own soul cracks

but I need you to hear me now

really hear me this time

you are not unlovable

just wounded by life

so tell me what’s hurting you

you don’t have to clean it up

I’ll sit beside the mess with you

till breathing feels enough

and even on your darkest nights

when your whole world feels wrong

I’ll remind you softly

you’ve survived for this long

hey…

look at me

you don’t have to survive tonight alone
