i see you when you think no one is looking lost in your thoughts you are sinking let me be your anchor you will stay ashore you don't have to drown not anymore
you are building a wall to hide yourself in when you think no one can break it i will climb my way in are you protecting yourself or caging yourself in this is no way to live making a prison out of your skin
are you screaming but no one seems to hear are you begging for help swallowed by your fears when the silence is deafening and you can't hold back the tears i am here i hear you loud and clear
there is no shame in saying what you're going through you think you're all alone but i'm right here beside you please don't shut yourself in what good does that do you don't have to be afraid i'll go through this with you
