Yeah i know

Yeah…

I know… I see it too

Don’t gotta say it out loud

I can feel it in the silence when every one looks my way

Like they’re counting all the ways that I just threw it away

Every promise I made got buried in dust

Now it’s hard for yall to see anything good in me

I hear the voice in my head when I lay in the dark

Every word like a knife, every doubt leaves a mark

Yall don’t yell anymore, that’s the part that cuts deep

‘Cause disappointment don’t scream… it just quietly seeps

I was supposed to be more, yeah, I had that shine

Now I’m stuck in the shadow of “should’ve been mine”

Every step that I take feel like sinking in sand

Try to reach for everyone’s pride but it slips through my hands

I’m not what you hoped, I can see it clear

Every broken dream just echoes in here

I tried to be enough but I always fall short

Now I’m fighting myself in a losing war

Yeah I know I let yall down, I don’t need the proof

Every mirror in the house just reflects the truth

I’m a ghost of the kid that everyone used to know

Now I carry that weight everywhere I go

Used to dream out loud, now I barely speak

Every goal feels heavy, every win feels weak

I compare my life to the ones that yall praise

And I drown in the gap of those impossible ways

Everyone gave me there hope, I turned it to doubt

Built a whole damn storm from the love yall poured out

Now I walk through the wreckage of everything I broke

Choking on the words that I never spoke

And I hate that I care, but I care too much

Every flinch, every sigh, every subtle touch

Got me reading between lines you don’t even say

Like “you’re not who I thought” in a quiet way

I’m not what yall hoped, I can see it clear

Every broken dream just echoes in here

I tried to be enough but I always fall short

Now I’m fighting myself in a losing war

Yeah I know I let everyone down, I don’t need the proof

Every mirror in the house just reflects the truth

I’m a ghost of the kid that you used to know

Now I carry that weight everywhere I go

If I could rewind, I would fix every flaw

Be the version of me that you all once saw

But time don’t bend and it don’t forgive

So I’m stuck with the life that I barely live

And I wish you all would scream, at least then I’d know

But your quiet hurts more than you letting go

‘Cause the worst kind of pain ain’t the words yall say…

It’s the love that fades… in a silent way

Yeah…

I’m still here… just not who you wanted me to be

And maybe I never will be…
