[Intro]
Yeah
I’ve been running from the fall
But it keeps catching up
Listen
[Verse 1]
Heart heavy like a deep kick
Try to play it off, talk slick
In the mirror I don’t say much
Stare back, see the same cuts
Old scars in a new frame
New town but the same rain
Numbers on my phone, don’t call
’Cause they never really show when I fall
I’ve been drowning in the late nights
Scroll screen, see their great lives
Meanwhile I’m in the same fight
Same hoodie, different stage fright
Tell myself, “you’re fine, you’re fine”
Why this tremor running down my spine?
Whole world talking like they all got hope
But I’m hanging by the thinnest rope
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I climb
Something pulls me low
Every time I say “I’m fine”
My chest says “no”
[Chorus]
Gravity won’t let go of me
Pulling me down where I can’t breathe
But I keep rising, rising, rising
Even when the weight’s on my feet
Yeah, gravity won’t let go of me
Dragging me back to my old dreams
But I keep fighting, fighting, fighting
Till the fall turns into a leap
[Verse 2]
Dark thoughts on a bright day
Smile big just to hide shame
Laugh loud in a loud crowd
In my head there’s a rain cloud
Friends say I should “lighten up”
They don’t know what I’m fighting, huh
They don’t see when the room spins
They just see what the lens prints
I’ve been folding all my fears small
Stuff ’em down in the drywall
Built walls so they won’t talk
Still hear echoes in the hall
Mama praying that I find peace
I’ve been praying just to find sleep
If my pain ever had a voice
It would
