Lyrics
[Intro — clean guitar, distant ambience]
Don't ask me how I'm doing.
I'll tell you that I'm fine.
There's nothing you need to carry.
There's nothing you need to know.
I'll hide it in the silence.
I'll bury it beneath a smile.
Because the last thing I could bear
Is watching you worry about me.
[Verse I]
I learned to swallow every scream
Before it reached the air.
I learned to hide the trembling hands
And pretend that nothing's there.
I know you've got your battles.
I know you've got your scars.
So I keep mine locked behind my teeth
And tell you I'm not falling apart.
[Pre-Chorus]
I would rather drown in silence
Than become another weight.
So I'll carry all this darkness
If it keeps you safe.
[Chorus — full, heavy]
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!
I'LL CARRY THIS ALONE!
I don't want my suffering
To become your own.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!
I'LL NEVER LET YOU SEE!
I'll wear this pain beneath my skin
So you don't have to bleed with me.
[Verse II]
You ask me why I'm distant.
I tell you I'm just tired.
You ask me if I'm hurting.
I tell you I'm alright.
But every word I give you
Is another brick I lay
Between the person that I am
And the person I display.
I don't want your sympathy.
I don't want your fear.
I don't want to watch your eyes change
When you finally see me clear.
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll laugh a little louder.
I'll say I'm doing fine.
I'll keep the wreckage hidden
Where nobody can find.
[Chorus]
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!
I'LL CARRY THIS ALONE!
I don't want my suffering
To become your own.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!
I'LL NEVER LET YOU SEE!
I'll wear this pain beneath my skin
So you don't have to bleed with me.
[Breakdown — crushing]
I SAID I'M FINE!
Don't look behind my eyes!
I SAID I'M FINE!
Don't ask me why!
I'LL CARRY EVERY WEIGHT!
I'LL BURY EVERY SCREAM!
I'LL SUFFER IN THE DARK
IF IT KEEPS YOU FREE!
But every burden carried alone
Becomes a chain.
Every secret buried deep
Becomes a cage.
[Bridge — quiet, vulnerable]
Maybe I was wrong
To think that love means hiding pain.
Maybe letting someone hold the weight
Doesn't make me weak.
Maybe I don't have to disappear
Every time I'm hurting.
Maybe you would stay
If you knew.
Maybe you'd understand.
[Final Chorus — huge]
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!
I don't have to carry this alone.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!
But maybe I don't have to hide anymore.
If I open up the silence,
If I finally let you see—
Would you call it a burden?
Or would you just...
STAY WITH ME?
[Final Breakdown]
I'M NOT FINE!
There—
I said it.
I'M NOT FINE!
And I'm tired of pretending.
I don't need you to save me.
I don't need you to fix me.
I just need to know
That my pain won't make you leave me.
[Outro — clean guitar fading]
I spent my whole life
Trying not to worry you.
Maybe I forgot...
You wanted to know
What was hurting me.
