Deeper Hole

(Verse 1)

I smile just to keep the peace,

Hold the storm inside of me.

They say, “You’re fine,” but they don’t see

The cracks that run too deep.

I scream in silence every day,

But they just look the other way.

I needed hands to pull me out—

But they just shove me down.

(Pre-Chorus)

I’ve been breaking, fading slow,

Trying to be someone they’d know.

But I’m just a ghost behind my face,

Trapped in a place they helped me make.

(Chorus)

They don’t understand my mind’s on fire,

Burning out, getting tired.

I gave too much, I bled to please,

Now there’s nothing left of me.

I’m stuck in this dark, cold soul,

And they dig me a deeper hole.

I needed love, I needed light—

But they just told me, “You’ll be fine.”

(Verse 2)

I’ve been the glue for everyone,

But now I’m cracked and coming undone.

I fake a laugh, I fake my rest,

But I’m collapsing in my chest.

They call me “lazy,” say I’ve changed,

But they don’t see I’m in pain.

I’m drowning while they’re on the shore—

They just watch me go down more.

(Pre-Chorus)

I try to speak, but lose my voice,

Tired of being their second choice.

I’m fading
