Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [Violin and piano breathe in Single guitar chord rings] [Verse 1] I bought the running shoes They glare at me by the door I circle in the kitchen Counting crumbs on the floor I stir the quiet coffee Watch the ripple Watch it still Each sip a tiny promise Each promise bent to will [Chorus] I’m trying to be healthy Trying to stay fit But the voices in my head keep talking me out of it One says “you’re a lost cause” One says “you’ll never change” I lace up all my good intentions They come undone again [Verse 2] I read the label slowly Low sugar High in grace I picture future versions I never get to face There’s laughter from the bedroom The mirror humming low “you’re softer than your shadow And that’s all you’ll ever know” [Chorus] I’m trying to be healthy Trying to stay fit But the voices in my head keep talking me out of it One writes down my failures One frames them like a prize I track each tiny victory They cross it off my life [Bridge] Who do I believe tonight The ghost on the couch Or the glow in the fridge light Is every little carrot Just a joke Just a dare Or a quiet Clumsy way To say I still care [Chorus] I’m trying to be healthy Trying to stay fit But the voices in my head keep dragging me back again One whispers “you’re not worth it” One hums “begin again” So I pour a glass of water And let it sit And let it sit And maybe that’s a win

Sparse nylon-string guitar and intimate piano, slow tempo. Sad violin intro weaving around a gravel-deep, close-mic’d male vocal. Verses nearly spoken, breathy and close; chorus opens with longer held notes, subtle vocal doubles, and soft string swells. Dynamics stay restrained, focusing on storytelling and small melodic hooks., sad, violin, male vocals, warm, deep
