Hear me whenI'm quiet.

Intro I don't need another answer Before I've finished what I mean I don't need somebody telling me How easy life should be Verse 1 I can sit inside a crowded room And disappear without a sound Everybody sees me smiling So they think I'm doing fine somehow I learned to make the right expressions Learned the words that make them stay But nobody asks the second question When I say I'm okay Pre-Chorus I'm not asking you to save me I'm not asking you to know Every place inside my heart I've never learned to show Chorus Just hear me when I'm quiet When I can't explain the ache When the words are somewhere inside me But they're more than I can say Don't tell me I'm overthinking Don't tell me it will pass Sometimes I just need somebody Who doesn't need to ask Why I'm lonely in a room full of light Why I'm tired when I'm doing alright You don't have to understand my whole life Just hear me when I'm quiet Verse 2 I've been everybody's listener I know every secret they conceal Funny how they come to me for comfort But never wonder how I feel I can carry all their worries I can tell them they'll survive Then I close the door behind me And forget how to feel alive Pre-Chorus Maybe I became too good At being everything they need Now nobody sees the woman Underneath who I agreed to be Chorus Just hear me when I'm quiet When I can't explain the ache When the words are somewhere inside me But they're more than I can say Don't tell me I'm overthinking Don't tell me it will pass Sometimes I just need somebody Who doesn't need to ask Why I'm lonely in a room full of light Why I'm tired when I'm doing alright You don't have to understand my whole life Just hear me when I'm quiet Bridge I don't want another lesson About how lucky I should feel I know there's beauty all around me That doesn't make this less real And I don't need the perfect sentence Or somebody with a cure Just sit beside me in the silence Until I don't feel so alone anymore Final Chorus So hear me when I'm quiet When the weight is hard to name When I'm standing right beside you But I feel a world away Don't tell me I'm too sensitive Don't tell me I'm too much Maybe what I've needed all this time Was just one honest touch When I'm lonely in a room full of light When I'm breaking but I still look alright You don't have to understand my whole life Just stay with me tonight Final Refrain Hear me when I'm quiet You don't have to make it right Just hear me Outro That's all I needed Someone who would listen When I had nothing left to say
