Verse 1
Morning comes the same again
Before the light, before the noise
Coffee in an empty room
Trying to steady what I can’t avoid
Something’s different in my head
A weight I cannot set aside
Thoughts I’ve never known before
Now there’s nowhere left to hide
⸻
Chorus
I smile… like nothing’s wrong
Hold it in… just carry on
But underneath… I’m coming undone
Fighting a war that no one sees
⸻
Verse 2
There’s a voice that calls my name
Says there’s peace if I let go
But I see their faces there
And I know I can’t go
So I stand and take the hit
Every breath, I choose to stay
’Cause my silence keeps them whole
Even as I fade away
⸻
Chorus
I smile… like nothing’s wrong
Hold it in… just carry on
But underneath… I’m coming undone
Fighting a war that no one sees
⸻
Bridge (very minimal, emotional)
If I fall…
Would they understand?
If I break…
Would they feel the same?
⸻
Final Chorus (slightly bigger, but still restrained)
So I smile… though it cuts so deep
Tell myself… this pain I keep
Is better than the one they’d feel
If I let go… and disappear.
