[Verse 1]
There’s a weight in me no one names
A hush that echoes louder than pain
I wear calm like it’s tailored skin
But it hides the hole, I’m breaking in
I speak in smiles no one reads
A language lost between my needs
I sink beneath a familiar sight
And pray that silence holds me right
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't tell me it'll pass, don’t feed me light
I don’t need hope, I just need a night
Where I can fall apart and still be held
Not fixed—just felt
---
[Chorus]
Cover me… I’m not okay
Hold me like I’m not in the way
Don’t ask me why, just stay
Even if I push, don't go away
Cover me… in your quiet space
When the world forgets my face
Cover me like I'm worth saving
Even when I’m breaking
---
[Verse 2]
There’s a riot humming beneath my chest
A thousand thoughts that never rest
I brace for kindness like a storm
Too many soft hands turned to harm
I map the bruises left in my mind
Little ruins I pretend to find
Beautiful—like they meant something
But pain rarely leaves meaning
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't dress it up in silver lines
Just meet me in these twisted vines
I don’t need sunshine—I need your spine
To lean on mine
---
[Chorus]
Cover me… I’m not okay
Hold me like I’m not in the way
Don’t ask me why, just stay
Even if I push, don't go away
Cover me… in your quiet space
When the world forgets my face
Cover me like I'm worth saving
Even when I’m breaking
---
[Bridge – Full English Version]
If I vanish in the quiet—would you feel it?
If I cracked beneath the calm—would you hear it?
Don’t speak in poetry, don’t draw a path
Just stay beside me—I don’t need the math
I want to cry in the rhythm of breath
Held in a silence deeper than death
No words, just presence, still and true
I don’t have to survive—just be with you
---
[Chorus - soft spoken fading out]
Cover me… when the world recedes
When I’m nothing but unraveling seams
Hold me close when I come undone
Don’t try to fix—don’t make me run
Cover me like a sacred vow
Like I’m worth the weight I carry now
Cover me—don’t pull me through
Just let me not be alone… with you
