Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's 2 AM in the darkness
And I'm awake in my bed
But the silence is raging
Like a panic in my head
It's my own prison locked away in my anxiety
This whole thing's broken, I'm losing the fight inside of me
So I'm all up in my head again
Feeling alone in a crowded room
I can feel the pressure
Heart rate is elevated
I don't know what to do
Oh, I need some kind of breakthrough
Oh, This can't go on forever
I'm not giving up on you
I'm still searching for the truth
I just need you to be
To be my breakthrough
It's 3 AM and I still can't sleep
Lost in the static again
I feel the silence invade me
It's deafening instead
Can't you see I'm locked away in my anxiety
Yeah I still feel like I'm losing this fight inside of me
So I try to clear my head again
Feeling alone in a crowded world
I can feel the pressure
And now my mind is racing
Can't take it anymore
I am holding on
Yeah I'm trying just to make it through
And I want nothing more
Than to trust my heart with you
But I can't hide from all my pain
And fight the chaos in my brain
I know you said you'd never leave
So why can't I feel you with me?
I'm not giving up on you
I'm still searching for the truth
I know you said you'd never leave
I just need you to be
To be my breakthrough
