I thought I was a danger to society
Decided I could trust no one besides me
But I know now
I don’t have to be alone now
Took on all the weight from off their shoulders
Didn’t tell a soul when mine were overworked
But now I’ve learned
I just have to make myself heard
[Chorus:]
Everybody says “ask for help, ask for help”
and I thought I was too strong for that
I didn’t tell and then I felt bad
Silly me, I couldn’t see that all I needed to do
was lean on the people who I’ve had lean on me too
When things got tough, I tried to muscle through it
cus that was how I saw my heroes do it
and it worked out
But how can I be sure now?
Looked into the mirror and I didn’t recognize my face
So obsessed with being helpful, I forgot I take up space
Watched myself turn into nothing, overwhelmed when I feel something
Tell myself to just keep running and running
[Chorus]
Isolating myself making myself crazy, find some safety
Make myself believe I’m all I got
Count the hours, sweet turns sour
They don’t bother wilted flowers
Bury be alive and I keep screaming that I’m fine
Until I asked for help
It was bad
I couldn’t see all I needed to do
was lean on the people who I’ve had lean on me
Ask for help, ask for help, ask for help (I thought I was too strong for that)
Ask for help, ask for help, ask for help (I didn’t wanna feel so bad)
Ask for help, ask for help, ask for help (I’m doing everything I can)
Ask for help, ask for help, ask for help
