[Verse 1]
Covering my ears
Pretending not to hear
The yelling through the wall
It shakes me to the core
I lock the door real tight
And hold my breath at night
Crying into my pillow
Till my face goes numb and white
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep it all inside
Like a secret in my throat
I wear it pretty on the outside
But I’m breaking, don’t you know
[Chorus]
Hands over my ears
Hands over my ears
I’m screaming in here
But you never hear
Fake smile on my face
Fake smile on my face
I’m falling apart
In a perfect place
[Verse 2]
Morning hits the mirror
And I paint on blue again
I say, “I’m fine, I’m fine”
With a lie between my teeth
Every word you throw
Cuts deeper than you know
I’m still standing in the ashes
Trying hard to look like gold
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep it all inside
Like a storm beneath my skin
I wear it pretty on the outside
But I’m shaking where I live
[Chorus]
Hands over my ears
Hands over my ears
I’m screaming in here
But you never hear
Fake smile on my face
Fake smile on my face
I’m falling apart
In a perfect place
[Bridge]
If I let it out
Would you stay, would you stay?
If I told the truth
Would you look away?
My hands are shaking now
My heart is loud enough
I don’t want to be brave
I just want to be enough
[Final Chorus]
Hands over my ears
Hands over my ears
I’m screaming in here
But you never hear
Fake smile on my face
Fake smile on my face
I’m falling apart
In a perfect place
Hands over my ears
Hands over my ears
I’m not okay
I’m not okay
