[Intro]
(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)

[Verse 1]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I believe you (I believe you)
I believe you

[Verse 2]
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 ’til you’re sick in a mind built to twist
When your truth gets dismissed, keep remembering this

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
If your story gets told, there will be hell to pay
But when you bite your tongue, you live there anyway
When you fawn 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”

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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, not one word’s in vain
I believe you, I believe you
I believe you, I believe you
I believe you
