Kay - Why do I

#selfwritten #newsong #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #pov #fyp #viral #aimusic Why do I feel like a burden? Why am I always hurting? I carry so much for you But you don't see what I'm going through You don't see the nights I hide Or all the tears I keep inside I'm doing my best, but it's never enough Maybe I'm just too hard to love And I keep asking myself every night “Am I the reason nothing feels right?” I give everything, then lose myself While everyone else needs somebody else So why do I feel like a burden? Like I'm the one who's always hurting Like every mistake is mine to own Like I'd be better off alone You see the damage, not the fight You see my darkness, not the light I'm more than all the things I've done I'm still somebody worth holding on to So why do I feel like a burden? I know I've messed up before I know I've hurt some people too But I was hurting too, can't you see? I was fighting my own battles quietly I wish you'd ask what's underneath Instead of judging what you see 'Cause every time you tell me I'm wrong I wonder how much longer I can hold on And I keep asking myself every night “Am I the reason nothing feels right?” I give everything, then lose myself Trying to be enough for everybody else So why do I feel like a burden? Like I'm the one who's always hurting Like every mistake is mine to own Like I'd be better off alone You see the damage, not the fight You see my darkness, not the light I'm more than all the things I've done I'm still somebody worth holding on to So why do I feel like a burden? Maybe I'm tired, maybe I'm scared Maybe I just needed someone there Someone to tell me, “You don't have to hide You don't have to keep this all inside.” Maybe I'm not who they say I am Maybe it's okay to fall and stand Maybe being broken doesn't mean There's nothing left of me I don't want to feel like a burden I don't want to spend my life hurting I don't want to carry all this blame Or think I'm nothing but my mistakes There's still a part of me alive Still a reason I can survive Maybe someday I'll finally see I'm not a burden just for being me Why did I feel like a burden? When all I needed was someone to really see me.
