what do you want to hear?
because there's so many things
i could say
because the voices have started again
but this time I've taken the time
to understand them
i want to hear them out
see who they are
maybe it'll make me a little less alone
i guess that's the problem though
because being alone is scary
but opening up is just that much worse
talking about it is hard
harder than just saying it's okay
and walking forward
because if you stop for a break
for just one second
you could drown
and no one wants to drown
but hopefully, someday I'd believe you
because i want to be okay
i just hope you'll wait for me
i just hope that's okay
