Trauma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say you're there when I feel helpless
If that's true, why don't you help me?
It's my fault, I know I'm selfish
Stand alone, my soul is jealous
It wants love, but I reject it
Trade my joy for my protection

[Chorus]
Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?
I hold you so proudly
Traumas, they surround me
I wish you'd just love me back

[Verse 2]
Say you're here, but I don't feel it
Give me peace, but then you steal it
Watch them laugh at all my secrets
Scream and yell, but I feel speechless
Ask for help, you call it weakness
Lied and promised me my freedom

[Chorus]
Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?
I hold you so proudly
Traumas, they surround me
I wish you'd just love me back

[Outro]
Grab my hand, I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Why haven't you found me yet?

About

“Trauma” is a ballad that NF uses to show a different side to his artistry, contrasting greatly against the dark, powerful hip-hop tracks in his discography.

The track itself pairs NF’s voice with the subtle notes of a piano and strings as he sings about longing for a connection with someone special while in a time of need.

Having this softer track allows the instrumentation and tone to flow into “Time,” the fourth and final single of The Search.

What did NF say about "Trauma"?

Is the “search” over? Or does it continue beyond this waypoint.

It hasn’t been confirmed but it can be assumed that “the search” is not yet over.

In the music video for “Leave Me Alone,” Nate is shown leaving his cart behind and most of the balloons with it. The video ends before we see if he leaves it at the amusement park or not, but it can be assumed that his search is not over.

Who is the person Nathan asks to grab his hand?

At first glance, it could be assumed that Nate’s asking God to help him while he’s drowning, but he could also be asking anyone who’s around to help him.
