Would It Be Alright (Lyric Video)

Would it? I wear a practiced smile like armor in the rain Laugh at all the right parts, hide the heavy weight Every room gets quieter when I almost speak But the words turn silent every time they reach my teeth You ask me how I’ve been, I say “fine” on cue Like I learned a long time ago that silence gets you through There’s a storm behind my ribs nobody ever sees I’m tired of pretending it’s not tearing into me And I don’t know how to say That I’m not okay Without feeling weak Without feeling ashamed Would it be alright, If I cried on your shoulder tonight? If the walls I built came down And all the hurt spilled out Would you stay until the morning light? Would it be alright, If I cried on your shoulder tonight? I learned to lock my heart behind a steady tone Turn every cry for help into “I’ll handle it alone” People say I’m strong, but they don’t understand Sometimes strength is just a mask you’re too afraid to lift by hand I can listen to the whole world breaking at the seams But when it comes to my own pain, I swallow every scream Maybe I’m just scared that if you see the truth You’ll look at me differently than you used to ’Cause I don’t know how to show The parts I never let go All the nights I disappear Inside my fear Would it be alright, If I cried on your shoulder tonight? If I finally let you see The side nobody reaches The ache I always try to hide Would it be alright, If I cried on your shoulder tonight? Maybe I don’t need to carry everything alone Maybe being honest doesn’t mean I’m broken If you hold me while the silence shakes apart Maybe I could learn How to hand somebody my heart Would it be alright, If I cried on your shoulder tonight? If the tears I never show Finally overflowed Would you hold me through the dark outside? Would it be alright, If I cried on your shoulder tonight? Would you tell me I don’t have to fight Every battle by myself tonight? Would it be alright? #music #song #newartist #indie #lyrics
