Only You from Zoetic (EP) by Zoetic
I wrote this song about six years ago when I was a junior in high school. I was at the lowest point of my life, and I was constantly having panic attacks. My anxiety was so immense that I could barely function, and I felt tremendously alone. This song I wrote as a cry to Jesus for help. I hope that this song will be a help to anyone who is struggling with emotional or mental agony.

Lyrics
Everything I long for, I swear that I don’t need
Every tear, I wipe away, convinced I shouldn’t bleed
Every high I feel relief, but every low is the same
I try to make my breathing slow and push away the shame
Everything I’ve conquered, and I’m still left obsessed
Everyday, I fight to smile, even though I know I’m blessed
Everyone I’ve ever loved, I’ve tried to make them stay
All the tightness in my chest, I beg to go away
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Hold me down to free me
Every bit of panic shows me I’m not fine
Every gasp reveals that I am running out of time
I wake up from a sleepless dream, drowning in my fears
I have to accept that I’m this way, and I’ve been this way for years
Every night I lie here, reaching for the phone
It’s not that I want company, but I’m tired of being alone
And You know my desperation as I long for You to say,
“All the tightness in your chest, I’m taking it away.”
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Prune me, not to break me
Die for me to save me
Only You can calm me
Hold me down to free me
Prune me, not to break me
Die for me to save me
Only You
