[Verse 1]
You say
"Relax"
Like that fixes every crack
I’m spelling out the way I break
You just laugh it off like it’s a joke I made
You change the subject
When my voice starts to shake
Tell me I’m dramatic
Then you wonder why I walk away
[Chorus]
You don’t get it
You don’t get it at all
I’m screaming from the rooftop in my mind
And you just see a wall
Do you see me?
Or am I talking to the dark in your head?
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
(and it hurts like hell instead)
[Verse 2]
I draw you a map
In the margins of the bills
Circle all the places
Where the silence kills
Ask you what you’re feeling
You just shrug and change the show
So I sit here wondering
Do you even wanna know?
[Chorus]
You don’t get it
You don’t get it at all
I’m bleeding out in sentences
You say they’re "way too small"
Do you hear me?
Or is my heart just background noise in this bed?
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
(and it eats me up instead)
[Bridge]
Do you know what’s going on
Inside my chest
Inside my head?
Do you see the way I’m fading
Right beside you in this bed? (hey)
I keep asking
I keep asking
But your eyes just look straight through
If you can’t feel my emotions
Do you even know it’s you?
[Chorus]
You don’t get it
You don’t get it at all
I’m building you a lifeboat made of truth
You let it fall
Do you feel me?
Or am I just another voice you’ve misread?
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
You don’t get it
(and that’s what I regret)
[Outro]
You say
"Relax"
I turn away instead
If you can’t understand my emotions
What are we holding on to
Left unsaid?
