They Think I'm Lying

[Verse 1]
They say I'm makin' it up
Like I rehearsed every hurt
But they don't see the nights
I sleep in this same old shirt
Phone on my chest
Unread
Staring at cracks in the paint
Tryna breathe past the weight
Prayin' the ceiling don't cave
[Chorus]
They think I'm lying when I'm breaking
They think I'm fine
But I'm shaking
I feel cursed
Yeah
Every step hurts
I just wanna give up
But I keep waking
I keep fighting
Even when it don't change things
I keep fighting
Even when my hands shaking
I feel cursed
Yeah
Every step hurts
I just wanna give up
But I keep… fighting
[Verse 2]
Smile like a sticker on
A car that's fallin' apart
They only see the front seat
Never look under the scars
"You're so strong" in a text
But they mute me when I crack
I keep folding up the truth
Hide it deep in my backpack
[Chorus]
They think I'm lying when I'm breaking
They think I'm fine
But I'm shaking
I feel cursed
Yeah
Every step hurts
I just wanna give up
But I keep waking
I keep fighting
Even when it don't change things
I keep fighting
Even when my hands shaking
I feel cursed
Yeah
Every step hurts
I just wanna give up
But I keep… fighting
[Bridge]
If you could sit inside my silence (hey)
Hear the thunder in my chest
You would know this ain't for pity
It's just me doing my best
I ain't asking you to fix it
Just to look me in the eyes
Say
"I feel it
I believe you"
That alone could keep me alive
[Chorus]
They think I'm lying when I'm breaking
They think I'm fine
But I'm shaking
I feel cursed
Yeah
Every step hurts
I just wanna give up
But I keep waking
I keep fighting
Even when it don't change things
I keep fighting
Even when my hands shaking
I feel cursed
Yeah
Every step hurts
I just wanna give up
But I keep… fighting (keep fighting)

Moody melodic hip-hop with male vocals; sparse piano and distant pads under intimate verses, kick and snare slide in on the first hook; chorus grows with airy harmonies and filtered bass, final hook strips back to vocal and piano for a raw, confessional close
