[Intro – soft grunge guitar + ambient hum]
Sometimes… even the quiet hurts
But I don’t want anyone else to feel the weight I hide inside
[Verse 1]
I keep trying to make everybody happy
Maybe it’s just that part of me that can’t say “no”
Or maybe I just can’t stand the thought
Of anyone drowning the way I do
Every friend with their own world
I burn myself out trying to keep up
Always hanging with the same few
And losing the ones I had before
Back when there were too many of us…
And somehow, I still felt empty
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I barely even see them
Feels like I’m a bad friend
But I miss those nights
Sleeping on Discord calls
Even if nobody said a word
[Chorus]
I don’t need you to fix it all
Just… tell me you’re here
That’s enough, yeah, that’s enough
I don’t need to be the funniest
Or the strongest one in the room
I just wanna hear, once in a while:
“It’s okay, you don’t have to carry everything.”
[Break – lo-fi keys + distant reverb]
I don’t fall asleep on calls anymore
But damn… I still miss it
[Verse 2]
I’m tired of choosing sides
And when I’m there, I feel guilty
Always like background noise
And I don’t even listen to what I like anymore
When I’m alone, it hits heavier
I miss their voices
Even if it’s virtual, even if we’re just sitting there
It feels more real than real life
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m probably not the perfect friend
But sometimes I just need someone to say:
“Thanks for sticking around”
Even when I’ve got nothing to say
[Chorus – repeat with more emotion]
I don’t need you to fix it all
Just… tell me you’re here
That’s enough, yeah, that’s enough
I don’t need to be the funniest
Or the strongest one in the room
I just wanna hear, once in a while:
“It’s okay, you don’t have to carry everything.”
[Bridge – ambient guitar + vocal echo]
Sometimes just hearing you breathe in the mic
Or sitting in silence together…
That’s enough… I’m not alone
[Outro – fading guitars + soft hum]
I don’t need anything else
As long as you’re here… it’s enough
