[Verse 1]
I talk, and the room goes thin
Like I’m just air in your skin
I wore the hurt on my sleeve
Still nobody looked at me
I laughed too loud, played it cool
Walked around like a fool
But inside, I was breaking
Every second, every waking
[Pre-Chorus]
I need help
I need help
I’m slipping under
[Chorus]
I’m drowning tonight
I’m drowning tonight
Can you hear me now? (hear me now)
I’m drowning tonight
I need help
I need help
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
[Verse 2]
The dark feels kind
It tells me I’m fine
Then it wraps me tight
And steals the light
And the voices, they sing
Like a cruel kind of peace
Say, “stay right here”
But I don’t believe
[Pre-Chorus]
I need help
I need help
I’m slipping under
[Chorus]
I’m drowning tonight
I’m drowning tonight
Can you hear me now? (hear me now)
I’m drowning tonight
I need help
I need help
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
[Bridge]
If you see me fade, don’t turn away
Say my name, make me stay
I’m not a lost cause
I’m a hurt heart trying to breathe
If I reach for the edge
Pull me back instead
I want the light
Even if I can’t feel it yet
[Final Chorus]
I’m drowning tonight
I’m drowning tonight
Can you hear me now? (hear me now)
I’m drowning tonight
I need help
I need help
Stay with me now
Stay with me now
I’m drowning tonight
I’m drowning tonight
And I still want to live (want to live)
I’m drowning tonight
