(Verse 1)
The world is turning, with colors bright and bold
But there's a monochrome story in my soul
A silent current is pulling me beneath
A weary sigh, I struggle just to breathe
(Chorus)
Oh, the unseen weight, is heavy on my chest
A constant whisper telling me I'm less
It's not a weakness, it's a battle that I fight
When the chemicals are clouded and I lose the light
But I don't have to carry this all by myself
It's okay to Ask For Help
(Verse 2)
You wear a smile, a mask for passing eyes
Hoping no one sees the shadow where joy hides
The things you love, they feel a little numb
Waiting for that good feeling that just won't come
(Chorus)
Oh, the unseen weight, it’s heavy on your chest
A constant whisper telling you you’re less
It's not a weakness, it's a battle that you fight
When the chemicals are clouded and you lose the light
But you don't have to carry this all by yourself
It's okay to Ask For Help
(Bridge)
Go find someone to hold, a voice that understands
A pastor, a doctor, a friend who takes your hand
Just three small words can break the lonely spell
"I need help”
(Ending Chorus)
Oh, the unseen weight, is heavy on my chest
A constant whisper telling me I'm less
It's not a weakness, it's a battle that you fight
When the chemicals are clouded and you lose the light
But you don't have to carry this all by yourself
It's okay to Ask For Help
No, you don’t have to carry this all by yourself
It's okay to Ask For Help
It's okay to Ask For Help
It’s okay to Ask For Help
