Nir Eyal

I kept smiling through the chaos, but now I’m stuck wondering if I’ll ever remember how to breathe

I’ve been pretending I don’t mind the noise, but I can’t ignore how tired I feel every time I try to keep up

I’ve been smiling through every compliment but I don’t think I can keep pretending I’m happy anymore

i’ve been pretending everything’s fine for weeks but tonight, the walls started talking back

I’ve been smiling through the chaos, but I can’t pretend I don’t see how everything is falling apart around me

I’ve been trying to act like I don’t care about what you said, but every time I hear your voice, it feels like I’m back in that empty room

i keep seeing the same face in the crowd every time i leave the building and i don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if i’ve been avoiding something all...

I’ve been nodding along in every conversation but I don’t recognize the person I’ve become anymore

I've been feeling off lately, like something is holding me back but I don't know what it is. It's not a big problem, but it's been nagging at me all d...

I’ve been hiding things from you and I can’t keep it up anymore

I’ve been pretending everything’s fine for so long I don’t even remember how to feel anymore

something happened and i need to process it

something is bothering me and i cant figure out what

I’ve been trying to act like I’m fine with the move, but I’m dreading the empty room I’ll be leaving behind

I don’t know why I’m telling you this, but I feel like I’m standing on the edge of something I can’t see

i need to talk through something before i make a decision

I just walked into a room and my entire life changed and I might have started a war

I’ve been holding on to the hope that things will change, but I’m starting to wonder if I’ve been waiting for something that will never come

Ive been trying to stay strong for everyone else but this silence between us is wearing me down more than I thought it would
