Verse 1 (conversation-style)
Hey…
If you could hear my thoughts right now
You’d probably tell me to slow down
It feels like the sky’s falling in my chest again
Sirens, shaking hands, can’t tell where I end
I keep staring at my phone like it owes me peace
Bills on the table, ghosts don’t let me sleep
I almost text you just to ask if you’re real
’Cause silence turns everything into something I feel
I’m not asking you to save me tonight
Just sit right here while I lose the fight
⸻
Pre-Chorus
The future’s yelling, the past won’t die
Every calm thought runs and hides
And if fear’s the only thing I can hold…
⸻
Chorus (soaring, sad)
If my world was ending, would you stay with me?
Not with answers, just honesty
If my mind goes dark and I start to shake
Would you hold the pieces I can’t escape?
I don’t need fixing, I don’t need “fine”
Just someone here while I’m outta my mind
If my world’s ending inside my head
Would you love me anxious instead?
⸻
Verse 2 (more direct, conversational)
I know I make small things turn into storms
I read between lines where nothing was wrong
I laugh too loud so nobody sees
How lonely it gets when it’s just me
They say “calm down” like I don’t try
Like my heart don’t sprint for no reason at night
I don’t need heaven, I don’t need faith
Just don’t walk out when I say I’m afraid
I’m heavy, yeah, I know that’s true
But I’d carry you if you needed me too
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I built my walls outta “I’m okay”
Outta nights I survived but never escaped
And if fear’s all I’m holding tonight…
⸻
Chorus (lifted, more emotional)
If my world was ending, would you stay a while?
When my chest caves in and I can’t slow time
If the ground gives out in my head tonight
Would you sit in the dark till I feel alive?
I don’t need saving, I just need sound
Your voice cutting through when the noise gets loud
If my world’s ending inside my head
Would you love me anxious instead?
⸻
Bridge (very bare, very sad)
Maybe tomorrow I’ll breathe just fine
Maybe this weight won’t come back this time
But if it does… if it hits me hard
Promise you won’t treat it like a flaw
Say you won’t leave when I fall apart
⸻
Final Chorus (big, broken, pleading)
If my world’s ending, don’t say “be strong”
Just say “I’m here,” and stay this long
If my mind collapses, if I lose my grip
Don’t disappear in the middle of it
I don’t need perfect, I don’t need rest
I just need someone who understands
If my world’s ending inside my head
Would you love me anxious…
Love me anxious…
Instead
Maybe loving me is why you can’t love yourself
2. You gave me all your grace and left none for yourself
3. You held me so tight, you forgot about yourself
4. You fixed all my cracks but never fixed yourself
5. You learned how to save me, not how to save yourself
6. You chose me every time, never choosing yourself
7. You carried my weight till it buried yourself
8. You silenced your needs just to quiet myself
9. You bled out your heart trying to heal myself
10. You broke all your rules just to keep myself
11. You lost who you were trying to be myself
12. You dimmed all your light so I could see myself
13. You starved your own love just to feed myself
14. You stood in the fire so it wouldn’t reach myself
15. You made me a home and evicted yourself
16. You turned into mine and abandoned yourself
17. You forgot your worth just to prove myself
18. You became my reason and lost yourself
19. Maybe loving me is why you can’t love
I watched you bend over at your spine picking up pieces of my broken lost mind, then it hit me it should have yesterday I’m the reason and should have walked away.
Maybe caring for me cost the care you owed yourself,
It’s been a hard year I think I can pin point where you lost yourself
Maybe caring for me felt like survival at the time but you loved me so hard you left yourself behind
