Don’t look too close

Verse 1 I walk in like I own the place But my eyes don’t want to stay I smile like I’m unbothered But my chest is doing backflips anyway Thoughts keep weighing me down Like I’m hiding something heavy Not afraid of what you see Just afraid you’ll see it steady ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’m not cold, I’m just tired Of people wanting me to be fine I’m not lost, I’m just wired And I’m running out of time ⸻ Chorus Don’t look too close You might see the cracks I’m walking on glass But I’m still on track I’m calm on the surface But I’m a storm inside Don’t look too close Or you’ll see me die ⸻ Verse 2 I laugh like it’s a defense I’m practicing the act I keep my shoulders squared Like I’m never looking back I don’t stay too long I don’t stay too late I don’t let people in ‘Cause they always want a gate ⸻ Pre-Chorus I’m not broken, I’m just burning Quietly, without a sound I’m not scared, I’m just learning How to stay when I’m falling down ⸻ Chorus Don’t look too close You might see the cracks I’m walking on glass But I’m still on track I’m calm on the surface But I’m a storm inside Don’t look too close Or you’ll see me die ⸻ Bridge I’m not asking for a rescue I’m asking for space I’m not trying to be better I’m trying to stay in the race My posture says I’m fine But my mind’s in a fight I’m smiling for the room But I’m dying in the night ⸻ Final Chorus (more intense) Don’t look too close You might see the cracks I’m walking on glass But I’m still on track I’m calm on the surface But I’m a storm inside Don’t look too close Or you’ll see me die
