INTRO:

Instrumental break:

HOOK:

When it gets quiet, it comes back around (yeah)

Sits in my head and it won’t calm down (yeah)

I try to act normal, I try to be cool (yeah)

But it hits too hard, and I feel like a fool (yeah)

They say, “Move on,” like it’s a switch (yeah)

I’m trying, damn… but it still won’t quit (yeah)

I packed my things and I changed my place (yeah)

New walls, but I still feel the same (yeah)

I tell myself, “You’re fine, just breathe” (yeah)

Then my mind gets loud, won’t let me sleep (yeah)

It drags up stuff I didn’t ask to see (yeah)

Old words, old nights, old ways of me (yeah)

People say, “Just let it go” (yeah)

Like it’s that simple, like I don’t know (yeah)

HOOK:

When it gets quiet, it comes back around (yeah)

Sits in my head and it won’t calm down (yeah)

I try to act normal, I try to be cool (yeah)

But it hits too hard, and I feel like a fool (yeah)

They say, “Move on,” like it’s a switch (yeah)

I’m trying, damn… but it still won’t quit (yeah)

I threw out stuff I don’t need no more (yeah)

Stopped going places that made me sore (yeah)

I cut off people who kept me low (yeah)

I did my best, I’m taking it slow (yeah)

But some days feel like I’m back at day one (yeah)

Same heavy thoughts when the day is done (yeah)

I don’t want to fall into that again (yeah)

So I stay busy and I fake a grin (yeah)

BRIDGE:

I called one friend, I told the truth (yeah)

Said, “I don’t feel right, I’m trying to move” (yeah)

They didn’t judge, they didn’t stare (yeah)

Just said, “I’m here—don’t fight it alone” (yeah)

So I take one step, then one more (yeah)

Even when my head starts a war (yeah)

OUTRO:

Maybe one day it won’t feel this close…

But right now, I’m still learning to let it go.
