[Verse 1]
I lost my keys inside the freezer
Found them next to yesterday
My thoughts kept changing lanes without a signal
While I smiled and said I’m okay
The room was full of unfinished pages
Every promise blinking red
I wore a brave face through the day
Then counted every worry in my bed
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my hands beneath the table
Kept my voice behind my teeth
But I’m tired of disappearing
When somebody asks what I need
[Chorus]
So I’m calling 911
Not because I want to run
I just need somebody steady
When my mind won’t let me rest
I’m still here, I’m holding on
Even when the night feels long
If I say I need some help
Will you stay with me a while?
[Verse 2]
There are mornings I can’t start the engine
There are hours I can’t sit still
One small thought becomes a thousand
And they’re climbing up the hill
I used to call it being broken
Now I’m learning different names
A brain that fights its own directions
Still deserves a little grace
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my hands beneath the table
Kept my voice behind my teeth
But I’m tired of disappearing
When somebody asks what I need
[Chorus]
So I’m calling 911
Not because I want to run
I just need somebody steady
When my mind won’t let me rest
I’m still here, I’m holding on
Even when the night feels long
If I say I need some help
Will you stay with me a while?
[Bridge]
No perfect words, no careful warning
Just the truth I couldn’t hide
I’m afraid, but I’m still asking
And that has to count tonight
If you’re listening, I am listening
If you’re reaching, I’ll reach too
One small voice can start a lifeline
One small yes can pull us through
[Final Chorus]
So I’m calling 911
Not because I want to run
I just need somebody steady
When my mind won’t let me rest
I’m still here, I’m holding on
Even when the night feels long
I said I need some help
And you stayed with me a while
[Outro]
I’m still here, I’m holding on
I asked for help, and carried on
