This song is about being what’s considered as the “therapist friend”. Her peers vent to her but ignore when she needs to talk. The build up of the song represents the build up of being overwhelmed with problems.
[Verse 1]
Don't ask me how I'm doing I'm gonna lie to you
I feel the need to please my people it's just what I do
So dry your tears, I always got you, ain't as bad as it seems
I can't imagine if I lost you, you mean too much to me
I'm writing paragraphs to beg you not to end it all tonight
Cause I know that you would always do the same for me, right?
If the roles are reversed and I was fading away
You'd take my thirteen reasons why and give me a million to stay
[Verse 2]
What do you mean you can't talk right now? I know I was a burden. No-one wants to talk to me when I'm really hurtin'
And this is why I lie, why I smile and fake it all
Broken isn't hot to you, depressions a turn off
So turn it off, pretend again, that evеrything's okay
Save the mental brеakdown, save the tears, ignore the pain
Wait till you're alone so no-one sees you at your worst
Cause the more you open up, the more it fuckin' hurts
[Chorus]
Every time I open up I know what you say, don't talk about it
It's like you're so far gone you think I'm insane, don't talk
You said be honest and you just walked away, don't talk about it
No matter what I do it's always the same, don't talk
Wake up, wake up. Save up, save up. Just play the part, don't talk
It's the middle, miserable, dystopia, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, don't talk
[Verse 3]
I give everything I have and it's still not enough, that's why the only thing left in me, is just giving up
You say "hang in there baby" it sounds so easy and basic. I don't need your two cents, maybe you should save it
Takin' too much credit for all your little clichés, you don't know what's in my head or why I numb my pain away
You don't care neither, what else is new?
I don't need you to be fake, I needed someone to talk to
[Chorus]
Every time I open up I know what you say, don't talk about it. It's like you're so far gone you think I'm insane, don't talk. You said be honest and you just walked away, don't talk about it
No matter what I do it's always the same, don't talk
Wake up, wake up. Save up, save up. Just play the part, don't talk. It's the middle, miserable, dystopia, don't talk about it
[Outro]
Wake up, wake up. Save up, save up. Just play the part, don't talk. It's the middle, miserable, dystopia, don't talk about it
