Bring You Down

I don't think I've slept in weeks
December's got the best of me
And I'm just hoping you can't see it
Is it inconvenient that I'm crying
Bet you think I'm just tired
So I guess I'll let you believe it

Cause I don't wanna bring you down
I don't wanna freak you out
If I say it all out loud
We'll be under the same dark cloud
I've got a heavy heart these days
I know you'd try to hold the weight
And I should let it go, but I don't know how
I don't wanna bring you down

It's probably nothing that you haven't felt
And I know you would wanna help
But I always keep it to myself
It's not that I think I'm a burden
But it hurts you when I'm hurting
Keeping it close is worth it
Or is that just a story I tell?

Cause I don't wanna bring you down
I don't wanna freak you out
If I say it all out loud
We'll be under the same dark cloud
I've got a heavy heart these days
I know you'd try to hold the weight
And I should let it go, but I don't know how
I don't wanna bring you down

To the place I've been
If I let you in
I can't lock that door again
To the place I've been
If I let you in
Will you regret it
Will I regret it

If I'm the one to bring you down
I don't wanna freak you out

I don't wanna bring you down
I don't wanna freak you out
If I say it all out loud
We'll be under the same dark cloud
I've got a heavy heart these days
I know you'd try to hold the weight
And I should let it go, but I don't know how
I don't wanna bring you down
