[Intro]
I walk this line, each week I share,
My stories heavy, but do you even care?
With papers in hand, my heart's on my sleeve,
I need you to know, I need you to believe.
[Verse 1]
Each time we meet, it's the same old song,
You ask for my plans like I’m doing wrong.
I feel like a puppet on strings pulled so tight,
Whispers in shadows keep me up at night.
[Pre-Chorus]
See, I’m haunted by my past, you don’t understand,
This isn’t just about a budget or a plan.
When will you see? Do you even care?
While I fight these demons, you're just unaware.
[Chorus]
Hey, can’t you see, I’m screaming inside?
Fighting for my life, there's nowhere to hide.
Every check-in feels like I'm bound by chains,
You’ve got the power, yet I feel the pain.
[Bridge]
Oh, I’m crying for help, in the silence of night,
While systems are broken, and hope feels so slight.
Just take a moment, look deep in my eyes,
Behind this façade, the real fear lies.
[Verse 2]
My mother-in-law's shadow looms over my plans,
Her whispers remind me that I’m not in command.
Every figure and number, a reminder of strife,
But can you not see, I’m fighting for life?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish for a moment you’d take off your mask,
And see what I’m facing; just one simple task.
Can’t you just listen, put judgement aside?
Be the chance I need, be my guide.
[Chorus]
Hey, can’t you see, I’m screaming inside?
Fighting for my life, there's nowhere to hide.
Every check-in feels like I'm bound by chains,
You’ve got the power, yet I feel the pain.
[Outro]
So here I stand, waiting for you to feel,
This heaviness I carry; this fear that’s so real.
If only you’d listen, just open your heart,
Then maybe, just maybe, we can start to restart.
