Melting Down

Verse:
I’ve been waiting longer to put the mask back on,
because deep down I wanted you to catch me
I’ve been stuffing it down, and barely holding on
Desperate, resisting tears for a few weeks

Pre-chorus:
I wanna let them fall, let them fall so bad
But there’s never no never never a good time
And the pain has just started started to form a cast
I need help but it feels so, so out of line

Chorus:
But I’ll
Be your safe place
And try
Hard to erase
All the reasons
Im melting, I’m melting, I’m melting
Down, down, down, down
So I’ll
Put on a brave face
And fail to communicate
All the reasons
I’m melting, I’m melting, I’m melting
Down, down, down, down

Verse 2:

I try watching movies but there’s always a sad scene
If I don’t pause I’m gonna, gonna lose it
I try to do homework but the thoughts are too distracting
So I’ll turn on, yeah, turn, turn on loud music

Pre-chorus 2:

I’ll keep stuffing it down cause I don’t have a choice
I wish somebody knew the right, right questions
I wish somebody could hear, hear, yeah, hear my voice
I just want a hug and some validation

Chorus:
But I’ll
Be your safe place
And try
Hard to erase
All the reasons
Im melting, I’m melting, I’m melting
Down, down, down, down
And I’ll
Put on a brave face
And fail to communicate
All the reasons
I’m melting, I’m melting, I’m melting
Down, down, down, down


Instrumental:
Down, down da-da-down
Down, down da-da-down

Bridge:

I’ve got grief for the living and the dead
I wish I could live inside my bed
I can’t see a future, beyond next week
“You’ve got it good”, that’s what everybody says
And they’re right, but I’m living in my head
I’m lost and I’ve lost my community

I know the plan, but I don’t wanna take the steps
I can’t shake the thought that there’s nothing left
If moving forwards a fight I just want to retreat
I’m angry about the things I never said
I’m hopeless, ignoring wise words that I’ve read
None of it really matters when I’m down this deep



Chorus:
But I’ll
Be your safe place
And try
Hard to erase
All the reasons
Im melting, I’m melting, I’m melting
Down, down, down, down
So I’ll
Put on a brave face
And fail to communicate
All the reasons
I’m melting, I’m melting, I’m melting
Down, down, down, down
