(SPOKEN)
People say things they think are harmless
Sometimes they laugh after they say it too
Like I'm supposed to laugh with them
You hear these things enough times
Eventually, you start wondering if people even see you at all
These are real things people have said to me
Just think about it
(VERSE 1)
Some things people say to me
Cut through pretty deeply
I don't even have to speak
For people to think I'm weak
Even when you say these things
You think it's harmless it's not
You don't know the weight they bring
Think you're harmless
But you're not
(PRE-CHORUS)
You say ‘I’ll pray for you’
‘You never know there may be a miracle’
You say ‘You’re so inspiring’
‘I’m sure they’ll find a way to fix it all’
(CHORUS)
‘Can I have a go? My legs are so achy?’
‘Must be lovely sitting down all day’
‘Wait, you’re actually allowed to cook by yourself?’
‘You’re so brave for coming here alone’
And ‘I know how you must feel, I broke my leg once’
‘I’d love to own one of those’
But would you?
(VERSE 2)
The way people say these as I pass by
Just to get a reaction out of me
People don’t care about my feelings
As much as people with ‘real’ anxiety
(PRE-CHORUS)
You say ‘I’ll pray for you’
‘You never know there may be a miracle’
You say ‘You’re so inspiring’
‘I’m sure they’ll find a way to fix it all’
(CHORUS)
‘Can I have a go? My legs are so achy?’
‘Must be lovely sitting down all day’
‘Wait, you’re actually allowed to cook by yourself?’
‘You’re so brave for coming here alone’
And ‘I know how you must feel, I broke my leg once’
‘I’d love to own one of those’
But would you?
(BRIDGE)
‘You need to slow down! You’ll hurt someone!’
‘Slow, slow, slow’
‘I’m really tired today I know how you feel when you don't get your medicine’
(SPOKEN)
You only heard it once
Remember,
I hear it every day
(BRIDGE)
‘Can I ask what happened to you?’
‘Do you need help?’
‘I’d never cope if I were you’
