[Intro – Spoken]
You ever scream into silence?
Like real loud, but nobody hears it?
Yeah… that part.
[Hook]
Talk to me like I matter
I’ve been stuck in the dark, tryna climb this ladder
If I fall, would it really even shatter?
’Cause I been feelin’ broken, like it don’t even matter
Talk to me like I still got a voice
Like my scars don’t make me less of a choice
If I cry, don’t call it weakness
Sometimes I just need someone to believe in
[Verse 1]
I smile but I’m numb, that’s my disguise
Say “I’m good” but I’m dyin’ inside
Keep my pain in the notes of my phone
So I never feel too alone
Hidin’ all my lows in a melody
Turn my hurt to a song, that’s therapy
But sometimes I wish I could break
Without fear of what they’ll say
Fake friends don’t check, just watch
They love the highs, not the knots
I don’t want likes, I want love
Someone to see me and not run
[Hook – Repeated with slight harmony]
Talk to me like I matter
I’ve been stuck in the dark, tryna climb this ladder
If I fall, would it really even shatter?
’Cause I been feelin’ broken, like it don’t even matter
[Verse 2]
I’m still that kid who hoped too much
Tried to be brave when life got rough
Tears dried on the pillow I hugged
Now I write ‘cause I can’t give up
Late nights feel louder than crowds
I be in rooms where I still feel left out
My shadow the only thing that stay
Even love walks away these days
Tired of pretending, tired of pride
Tired of “I’m fine” when I’m barely alive
Tired of fighting demons with a smile
Can you just stay a while?
[Outro – whispered harmony]
Talk to me like I matter…
Like I ain’t already shattered…
