I was drowning
And you didn’t notice
Didn’t see the terror in my eyes
Couldn’t see through my clumsy
“I’m fine”s
While I hyperventilated
Isn’t that what friends are for
To know you
And care enough
To not believe you
I’ll always be there for you
I’d swear
On all the secrets
I’ve carried for you
Now it feels like I’m alone
Can’t open up
And lean on you
Because I can’t
Stand on my own anymore
And so I’ll fall alone
But while I’m falling
I have to figure out
A way to stay with you
Because I still care
And I don’t want to hurt you
But
Sometimes
I
Just
Can’t
And I’m
F
A
L

But I’ll hold up the mask
Something I never thought
I’d have to do with you
And I’ll hide
All that you can’t see
