Hear Me Inside

Hands to my head
Can somebody tell me what this is?
Just listen, listen inside

I put my hands to my head, tryna make sense of it all
Can somebody tell me what this chaos is for?
Impulses, anger, pain, it's carved into my bones
How much does it hold us back from movin' on?
I need you to give me one more shot, love
Please, this time just soften the blow from outside
And look, listen to what's in here
Just what's in here

Ain't new, baby, I'm sorry
Sometimes feelings scream louder than reason
I'm still learnin', still growin'
I need to act, but hold me
Hold me with those hands that calm me down, don't say a word
You just gotta feel what's in here

Even if I gotta scream it loud
I need you to feel me different now
I ain't just what you see on the surface
My actions sometimes say the opposite of who I am
But I know you can see this other side
I just need you to hear me
Just need you to hear me
Hear me inside

Hear me inside, feel me deep (deep, deep)
Hear me inside, don't just see (see, see)
Hear me inside, hold me close (close, close)
Hear me inside, I'm still yours (yours, yours)

I tried, I tried in all the wrong ways
That's just how I let it out some days
But it don't tell you who I really am
Don't say a thing about the woman I am
But if you pay attention to the little things
You'll see how deep I feel everything
How much I need you right here
See me inside

Ain't new, baby, I'm sorry
Sometimes feelings scream louder than reason
I'm still learnin', still growin'
I need to act, but hold me
Hold me with those hands that calm me down, don't say a word
You just gotta feel what's in here

No words right now, just feel the ache
I'm more than the storm, more than the break
Look past the noise, past the fight
See the love that's burnin' bright
Hear me, hear me inside

Even if I gotta scream it loud
I need you to feel me different now
I ain't just what you see on the surface
My actions sometimes say the opposite of who I am
But I know you can see this other side
I just need you to hear me
Just need you to hear me
Hear me inside

Hear me inside, feel me deep
Hear me inside, don't just see
Hear me inside, hold me close
Hear me inside, I'm still yours
