Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They told me
"Others felt this way"
Spoke so softly
Like that makes it okay
You list your scars
Like a weather report
I nod
I smile
But it still cuts short
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"You'll be fine
You’ll see"
But it echoes in me
All the phrases
All the lines
Falling out of time
[Chorus]
Others have felt this way
Others have said
"okay"
I say it hurts that way
Right here
Right now
Let’s share a tear and a word
Let it drown out what we’ve heard
If we both forget our fear
Will you stay right here?
[Verse 2]
You pour your coffee
Hands not quite steady
Say
"It’ll pass"
Like the pain is ready
I laugh too loud
Just to fill the room
Hide my shaking
Like a cheap perfume
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"You are not alone"
But it chills to the bone
Every comfort
Every phrase
Still won’t end this haze
[Chorus]
Others have felt this way
Others have said
"okay"
I say it hurts that way
I fear it now
Let’s share a tear and a word
Let it drown out what we’ve heard
If we both forget our fear
Will you stay right here?
[Bridge]
What if we stop pretending we’re tough?
What if "too much" is just enough?
If I break in your hands tonight
Will you break in mine? (oh)
[Chorus]
Others have felt this way
Others have said
"okay"
I say it hurts that way
I’ll say it out loud now
Let’s share a tear and a word
Let it loosen every nerve
If we both forget our fear
Maybe we heal right here
