[INTRO – ROOM TONE, FAINT HEARTBEAT]
[BREAKING – whispering, shaky, close mic]
I’m tired…
It’s loud in my head even when it’s quiet.
I don’t think I can keep doing this.
[HEARTBEAT BASS ENTERS SOFTLY]
⸻
[VERSE 1 – BREAKING – fragmented, unstable delivery]
I feel like a burden when I walk in rooms.
Like people adjust when I move.
Friends don’t check in —
but I stopped answering too.
I ruin good things.
I overthink.
I say I’m fine.
I don’t sleep.
I’m behind in life.
Behind in money.
Behind in who I’m supposed to be.
Everybody building something.
I’m just… existing.
[VOICE CRACK]
I’m the almost.
Never the finished.
The “he got potential”
that never did it.
Maybe they’d breathe easier
if I just disappeared.
[LONG PAUSE – HEARTBEAT LOUDER]
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS – FIRST INTERRUPTION]
[STEADY – calm, grounded, firm]
Stop.
[BREAKING – irritated]
Don’t.
[STEADY]
Put it down.
[BREAKING]
You don’t understand.
[STEADY]
I do.
⸻
[VERSE 2 – BACK AND FORTH – CLEAR SWITCHES]
[BREAKING – defensive]
Nobody stays.
[STEADY – controlled]
You push them away.
[BREAKING]
I’m too much.
[STEADY]
You’re overwhelmed.
[BREAKING – louder]
I’m a fuck up.
[STEADY – firm]
You’re unfinished.
[BREAKING]
I’m tired of trying.
[STEADY]
You’re tired.
Not done.
[BEAT STRIPS DOWN – JUST HEARTBEAT + PAD]
[BREAKING – breaking down]
They don’t call me.
[STEADY]
You stopped answering.
[BREAKING]
I don’t matter.
[STEADY]
Then why am I fighting you right now?
[PAUSE]
[BREAKING – softer]
I don’t see a way out.
[STEADY]
Look at me.
⸻
[BRIDGE – NEAR SILENCE]
[STEADY – slower, intentional]
Look at me.
[BREAKING]
I am.
[STEADY]
No.
Look.
[BREATH]
It’s just us in here.
Every night you survived
was me.
Every time you said “tomorrow”
was me.
You think you’re weak?
You’ve lived through thoughts
that would’ve buried most people.
[BREAKING – crying breath]
I don’t want to hurt anymore.
[STEADY]
Then don’t leave.
Stay.
⸻
[INSTRUMENTAL SECTION]
[CELLO SOLO – emotional, cinematic, isolated, no drums]
⸻
[FINAL SECTION – VOICES BLENDING SLIGHTLY]
[BREAKING – drained]
What if I fail again?
[STEADY – softer now]
Then we get up again.
[BREAKING]
What if nobody loves me?
[STEADY]
Then we learn to love us louder.
[BREAKING – whisper]
I don’t want to disappear.
[STEADY – final, grounded]
Then stay.
[LONG EXHALE]
[BREAKING – barely audible]
Okay.
⸻
[OUTRO – HEARTBEAT SLOWING]
[MERGED VOICE – balanced tone]
We’re still here.
Breath in.
Breath out.
We’re still here.
[HEARTBEAT FADES]
