[Chorus] Don't tell me to calm down You don’t get to measure how much I feel Don't tell me to calm down That sentence just makes it more real I was already holding it in Trying to keep the edges from showing Then you said those words like they were a gift [heavy breathing] Now everything I buried is overflowing You thought you were helping You thought you were kind All you did was prove you weren’t even trying to find What I actually needed [Chorus] Don't tell me to calm down You don’t get to measure how much I feel Don't tell me to calm down That sentence just makes it more real [Break] [sobbing] I’m not too much I’m just not empty [whispering] Stop saying it It only makes me worse [Verse] Every time you say it I go a little farther The control I had starts slipping faster I didn’t ask you to fix the weather inside I just wanted someone who wouldn’t hide Behind “relax” like it was a solution [heavy breathing] Now look at the state of this conversation [Chorus] Don't tell me to calm down You don’t get to measure how much I feel Don't tell me to calm down That sentence just makes it more real [Chorus] Don't tell me to calm down You don’t get to measure how much I feel Don't tell me to calm down That sentence just makes it more real [Outro] Don’t say it again [sobbing] Please don’t say it again
