Heavy

I've been walking through the quiet streets
Trying hard to breathe again
Every step feels like a story
That I'm too afraid to end

I've been smiling just to fake it
Telling friends that I'm okay
But my heart's been getting colder
And it's harder every day

And I'm trying not to crumble
Though I'm running out of fight
The daylight feels so distant
And I can't find the light

When it all feels heavy
And the world won't let me go
I'm still holding on to something
Though I barely even know
If I fall right to the bottom
Would you reach your hand for me?
When it all feels heavy
Would you stay, and help me breathe?

I've been counting every minute
Like it's dragging through the mud
Telling lies to my reflection
Just to feel a little good

I keep hoping for a moment
That can pull me through the night
But the more I try to fix it
The less I get it right

And I'm trying not to crumble
Though my hands are shaking too
If I tell you that I'm broken
Would you see the truth come through?

When it all feels heavy
And the world won't let me go
I'm still holding on to something
Though I barely even know
If I fall right to the bottom
Would you reach your hand for me?
When it all feels heavy
Would you stay, and help me breathe?

I don't need a perfect ending
Just a sign that I'm not gone
Maybe pain is just a lesson
That keeps pushing me along

When it all feels heavy
And the world won't let me go
I'm still holding on to something
Though I barely even know
If I fall right to the bottom
Would you reach your hand for me?
When it all feels heavy
Would you stay, and help me breathe
