[Intro — whispered]
Can anybody hear me?
I’ve been calling for so long…
I don’t know how much louder
I can get.
[Verse 1]
I’ve been talking to the walls again
Like maybe they’ll talk back
Trying to explain the weight I feel
But I don’t have words for that
Everybody asks me how I’ve been
I tell them that I’m fine
But if you looked a little closer
You’d see it in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need an answer
I don’t need you to understand
I just need somebody
To reach out for my hand
[Chorus]
Can you hear me?
I’m right here
I’m screaming without making a sound
Can you see me?
I’m so scared
That I could disappear in this crowd
Please don’t tell me
“It’ll be okay”
Just stay with me
Until this feeling fades
Can you hear me?
Please…
Can you hear me?
[Verse 2]
I keep leaving little pieces
Of myself in every room
Hoping someone finds them
Before I lose them all too soon
I’m tired of being strong enough
To fool everyone I know
I’m tired of saying nothing
When I’m begging not to be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
So look at me
Just look at me
Tell me you can see
There’s something underneath
[Chorus — building]
Can you hear me?
I’m right here
I’m screaming without making a sound
Can you see me?
I’m so scared
And I don’t know how to get out
Please don’t fix me
Don’t look away
I just need somebody
Who’s willing to stay
Can you hear me?
Please…
Can you hear me?
[Bridge — almost breaking]
I’ve said “I’m fine”
A thousand times
And every single one
Was a lie
I’ve laughed with you
I’ve smiled too
While something underneath
Was crying out—
HEAR ME!
I’M STILL HERE!
I’M STILL HERE!
DON’T LET MY SILENCE
MAKE YOU THINK
I’M NOT SCREAMING!
[Breakdown]
I DON’T WANNA BE INVISIBLE!
I DON’T WANNA BE ANOTHER
VOICE YOU NEVER HEARD!
I’VE BEEN BEGGING
WITHOUT WORDS!
PLEASE—
JUST—
HEAR—
ME!
[Final Chorus — soft → huge]
Can you hear me?
I’m right here
There’s still a little life inside
Can you see me?
Stay right here
I’m tired of having somewhere to hide
You don’t have to save me
You don’t have to know what to say
Just sit here in the silence
And promise you’ll stay
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
[Outro — whispered]
I’m still talking…
I’m still calling…
Please tell me
someone’s listening.
