(Intro — very minimal, almost spoken into space)
Yeah…
I don’t really know how to explain this…
It just never really goes away.
⸻
(Verse 1 — cold, direct, heavier trauma focus)
I got memories I don’t like visitin’
They don’t knock, they just come in
Childhood echoes still in my skin
Like they never really left back then
I learned real quick how to stay quiet
Smile on face, but inside a riot
Raincloud sittin’ over my mind
Even on days when the sun feels fine
And she shows up, it all goes still
Like my brain finally learns to chill
But that’s the part that scares me still
‘Cause I know it won’t stay that way
⸻
(Pre-Chorus — tension, slight desperation)
And I don’t wanna need her like that
But when she leaves, it all comes back
⸻
(Chorus — raw repetition, not polished)
I’m tryna start a new chapter now
But I don’t even know how
To keep this weight off my chest
When I’m still stuck in the past, I guess
She quiets the storm in my head
But it comes back louder instead
And I hate that I feel this way
Like I can’t face it on my own someday
⸻
(Verse 2 — more aggressive NF flow, faster cadence)
I don’t talk about it, I just hold it in
Act like I’m fine, then it starts again
Every good thing feels temporary
Like peace is something I can’t carry
And I know she ain’t the answer here
But she’s the first time it feels less severe
And that scares me more than the pain itself
‘Cause I’m still not good with myself
I don’t wanna build my peace on her
But she’s the only thing that stops the blur
And when she’s gone, it all comes back
Like I never even fought it back
⸻
(Bridge — breakdown, almost breaking voice)
I don’t wanna lose her
But I can’t keep using her
To hold back everything I never healed
That’s not fair… that’s not real
⸻
(Final Chorus — more intense, slightly faster delivery)
I’m tryna start a new chapter now
But it still drags me down somehow
She calms the storm in my head
Then it comes back heavier instead
And I need to learn on my own
How to stand when I’m alone
‘Cause I can’t keep building peace
On something that doesn’t fix me
