Speaking on the song, he said:
Last year, there was a period of time where there wasn’t anything going on, a...
[Intro]
No, I can't handle
No, I can't handle it, no
No, I can't handle
[Verse 1]
Let out the air and sink to the bottom
Where all the weight is forgotten
No one can hear me down here
Came down to calm down where I don't fear
Somebody seeing my tears
I feel safer down here
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm sinking deeper
I'm sinking deeper
I'm sinking deeper
Than I ever thought I would go
[Chorus]
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
(When I feel it's too much to handle)
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
[Verse 2]
And then I start to get nervous
What if I never resurface?
No one can hear me down here
The pressure gets worse the further I fall
The dimmer the light, the lower I go
And I'm getting cold
[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm sinking deeper
I'm sinking deeper
I'm sinking deeper
Than I ever thought I would go
[Chorus]
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
(When I feel it's too much to handle)
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
[Bridge]
No, I can't handle
No, I can't handle it, no
No, I can't handle
Can you hear me down here?
No, I can't handle
No, I can't handle it, no
I think I'm safer down here
[Chorus]
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
(When I feel it's too much to handle)
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
(When I feel it's too much to handle)
Too many times that I've been
Too proud to let it out
