[Intro]
Hey now, don’t judge me if you don’t know my story
These battles inside, they’re unspoken, they’re gory
Wake up in the mirror, I don’t see who I used to be
Fading like a ghost, just tryin’ to find me
[Verse 1]
Used to wake up feelin’ light, my smile was wide
Now these shadows creep, got me losin’ my pride
Memories of laughter, they’re slipping through my hands
Struggling to stand, I don’t understand
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s voices in my head, tellin’ me I’m not enough
Tryin’ to break free, but the chains are tough
Holdin’ on to hope, don’t wanna fall apart
Fightin’ inside, with a wounded heart
[Chorus]
If you don’t know me, don’t judge me
I’m just a soul tryin’ to be strong
The good pieces scrappin’ to stay alive
Struggling to find where I belong
Won’t pretend to be what I ain’t
Just a lost boy, tryin’ to hide my pain
Every step, I keep on tryin’ to grow
Hoping one day, I’ll find my way home
[Verse 2]
Memories of better days, they call my name
Feel the fire burnin’ low, in this dark rain
Want to be the man I know I can become
But the mirror’s reflection, got me feelin’ numb
[Pre-Chorus]
Voices in my mind, they say I’m not enough
Battlin’ my demons, gotta rise above
Every scar tells a story, every tear’s a fight
Looking for the dawn, in the dead of night
[Chorus]
If you don’t know me, don’t judge me
I’m just a soul tryin’ to be strong
The good pieces scrappin’ to stay alive
Struggling to find where I belong
Won’t pretend to be what I ain’t
Just a lost boy, tryin’ to hide my pain
Every step, I keep on tryin’ to grow
Hoping one day, I’ll find my way home
[Bridge]
Maybe someday, I’ll find some peace
Let the past go, and just release
Until then, I’ll keep on fightin’ inside
Chasin’ the dream I can’t seem to hide
[Outro]
So if you see me, walkin’ down this road
Know I’m fightin’ every load
Just a man, tryin’ to find his soul
Won’t judge me now, I’m workin’ on me whole
