Some nights it's money; some days it's the pain.
Some hearts hold the burdens that reign in the brain.
My body is buzzing; my heart hits my chest.
My thoughts start to spiral and I cannot rest.
We don't speak about it; we smile through the pain.
I know I'm not dying but it's hard to explain.
The world is too loud and it fills my head,
I scroll through the headlines that leave me with dread.
My chest is too tight and my breath is thin,
I smile at my desk while the walls close in.
But maybe the brave thing is saying it instead,
I know I'm not dying and get that in my head.
The clock hits three and I still can't get away,
I can't find the place where the fear comes to stay.
I know it, I feel it, this buzz in my chest,
I fear I'm not enough if I don't get my rest.
It's not a weak heart; it's not ours to downplay,
Anxiety takes on many forms in the darkest ways.
Pills are not magic; they don't stop the race,
But face it head on; you can slow your pace.
Walk till your heartbeat begins to slow down,
Breathe in and out till your feet feel the ground.
Turn off the screen and let calm take its place
I know I’m not dying, I just need some space
We weren't created to carry all this weight,
It likes to strike at night and keeps us awake.
Your heart is racing, mine won’t settle down,
These waves come up and spin my thoughts around.
It comes in waves, I feel I can’t breathe in,
I know I’m not dying, and I'll be okay again.
(Bridge)
My heart starts racing and it won’t slow down
It hits so fast, I feel it all around
My chest feels tight and I can’t catch my breath
It feels so real, like I might face my death
I tell myself this feeling will pass in time
I know I’m not dying, but this is a fear of mine.
(Chorus)
These are the waves that can hit us so strong,
They don’t have to own us or drag us along.
Your hands may shake, yeah I feel that too,
We take it slow, just do what we can do.
Some nights feel endless, the days feel so long,
I know I’m not dying, I just trying to hold on.
These are the waves that can hit us so strong,
They don’t have to own us or drag us along.
Your hands may shake, yeah I feel that too,
We take it slow, just do what we can do.
Some nights feel endless, the days feel so long,
I know I’m not dying, I just trying to hold on.
