I Believe You

I believe you
Don't let them make you feel see through
Dig deep and keep speaking your truth
Even when you're afraid, fire away
Don't give into the shame
Drowning in your own two eyes

I can see the storms you've had to hide
'Cause suppression means safety
When they think that you're crazy
Every time you cried for help
They just taught you how to blame yourself
Hoping no one would notice
Because healing feels hopeless
But I want you to know this

I believe you
Don't let them make you feel see through
Dig deep and keep speaking your truth
Even when you're afraid, fire away
Don't give into the shame
I believe you
I believe you

Stuck in loops inside your head
Where they made you doubt what you can't forget
Had I really consented?
Should I've done more to end it?
Second guess till you're sick, and a mind built to twist
When your truth gets dismissed
Keep remembering this

I believe you
Don't let them make you feel see through
Dig deep and keep speaking your truth
Even when you're afraid, fire away
If your story gets told, there will be hell to pay

But when you bite your tongue, you live there anyway
When you thought and you fake that you're really okay
I swear I'll care enough to stop you and say
If they're uncomfortable, you've done something right
'Cause silence is how shame survives
The more ugly your feelings, the more likely you're healing

I believe you
Don't let them make you feel see through
Dig deep and keep speaking your truth
Even when you're afraid, fire away
Don't give into the shame

I believe you (I believe you)
Don't sugarcoat life in these shoes (I believe you)
Even if your voice breaks and you're unglued
And they call you insane
You inspire the silent, I want words in vain

I believe you
I believe you
I believe you
I believe you
I believe you
