[00:08.37]This Is Me Trying Not to Cry - Leo Årthun
[00:15.48]A blink slow and it starts to sting
[00:19.05]Like maybe I can stop it
[00:22.26]I look away from mirrors
[00:25.36]So I don't have to watch it
[00:28.24]I swallow words I wanna say
[00:31.85]Because my voice might break
[00:34.24]I tell myself,"Not right now"
[00:37.20]Like pain can learn to wait
[00:40.81]This is me
[00:43.09]Trying not to cry
[00:45.62]Holding it together in public
[00:48.80]This is me
[00:50.18]Pretending I'm okay
[00:52.40]When I'm really just numb
[00:54.40]This is me
[00:58.24]Trying not to cry
[01:03.54]Cuz once it starts
[01:06.04]I know
[01:09.93]I won't know how to stop it
[01:16.21]So I keep it low
[01:32.20]I don't wanna make it awkward
[01:34.29]I don't want the looks
[01:35.60]I don't wanna explain myself
[01:38.25]When I barely understood
[01:44.97]Some tears aren't dramatic
[01:47.92]They're just tired
[01:50.67]They come from carrying too much
[01:54.31]For too long inside
[01:57.58]If I let it out
[02:01.18]I might not pull it back in
[02:04.81]This is me
[02:07.82]Trying not to cry
[02:12.41]Cuz I still need to function
[02:17.73]I'll break later
[02:19.76]When it's quiet
[02:23.34]And when no one's watching
[02:29.99]And I'm okay
[02:37.56]I'm okay
[02:47.53]I'm okay
