Hear Me Out

I just wanna say

I feel like it’s getting pretty bad,

Sitting here alone wondering if anybody really hears me anymore. Like somewhere along the way I got characterized, Immortalized as somebody I don’t recognize, Looking at myself like, “Is this really my life” Some nights my mind gets dark,

Telling me there ain’t nothing waiting outside.

But what’s the point of listening to that voice

When there’s still people I couldn’t leave behind

I think about my mother,

What losing me would do to her inside.

And I could never put that weight upon her,

So even on the worst nights…I’m still gonna try. I just wish I had somebody I could talk to, Someone who ain’t studying every word I say. I know there’s nothing wrong with needing help,

I just miss having somebody who simply wants to stay. No appointment, No obligation,

No feeling like you gotta understand.

Just somebody sitting next to me saying,

“Go ahead, I’m listening, man.”

’Cause lately I’ve been numb,

And being numb makes everything too easy not to care about. So I sit alone with thoughts of my own

Wondering if somebody could just

Hear me out

You don’t gotta save me, just hear me out.

Stay a little while when the room gets quiet,

Let me say the things that I keep in silent

Hear me out…I just need somebody around.

Not because you feel bad,

Not because you think I’m breaking down.

Call me because you thought of me,

Stay because you wanna be here now.

I don’t need you to fix my life

I just need somebody

Who wants to hear me out.

I just wanna say

It’s getting kinda hard

When nobody hits my phone unless I reach out first.

Makes you start wondering what you’re worth,

Whether anybody notices when you disappear from their world. Everybody wants to look the same,

Talk the same, love the same,

And I’m just trying to find somebody real

Who ain’t afraid to show me who they are underneath everything.

I want somebody to hear my voice,

Listen to the tone and know I mean what I say.

But being honest feels dangerous now,

Give somebody your truth

And they might turn it against you someday.

So I keep certain things inside,

Smile when I don’t wanna explain.

Then wonder why nobody understands

When I never gave ’em the chance to see the pain.

I know genuine people exist.

I know somebody out there might understand this.

I’m not asking for forever,

I’m not begging somebody to fall in love.

Sometimes I just want my phone to light up

And know somebody thought of me

Without me asking first.

So if you’re listening

Hear me out

You don’t gotta save me, just hear me out.

Stay a little while when the room gets quiet,

Let me finally get what I’m feeling out.

Hear me out

I just need somebody around.

No pity in your eyes,

No promises you can’t figure out.

Call me because you miss my voice,

Stay because you choose me right now.

I don’t need you to fix my life

Just don’t make me feel invisible

When I’m reaching out.

I don’t need saving

I don’t need answers

Maybe I just need somebody to say

I hear you

Yeah

Just hear me out
