Nothing I Do

Verse 1

I hate how I feel, waiting for the next fight,

Every little thing could set him off tonight.

I scrub, I clean, I try so hard,

But he looks right through me, leaves another scar.

I feel so small, so useless, so insufficient,

Every word I say just feeds his friction.

I smile, I nod, I pretend I’m fine,

But inside I’m cracking, losing time.

Chorus

Nothing I do is ever enough,

I’m running on empty, calling his bluff.

Every effort, every tear, disappears,

I’m alone in this, drowning in my fears.

Verse 2

He shouts, he pushes, the words hit deep,

I lie awake at night, can’t find sleep.

All the things I do, it’s never seen,

Like I’m living life in some broken machine.

I hate how I feel, every touch, every glance,

I’m trapped in this cycle, can’t take a chance.

I want to scream, I want to run,

But there’s nowhere to hide, nowhere to shun.

Chorus

Nothing I do is ever enough,

I’m running on empty, calling his bluff.

Every effort, every tear, disappears,

I’m alone in this, drowning in my fears.

Bridge

I’m more than this, more than his lies,

More than the fear behind his eyes.

I’ll find my voice, I’ll claw it back,

I won’t be silent, I won’t crack.

Final Chorus

Nothing I do is ever enough,

I’m done with the pain, done with the bluff.

I’ll rise from this, though it’s taken its toll,

I’m claiming my life, reclaiming my soul.

Outro

I’m still here, I’m still me,

No more chains, no more need to flee
