Verse 1
It starts with a breath I can’t hold down,
A question hanging, no solid ground.
I chased the reason, I chased the why,
Built every answer just to watch it die.
Time keeps slipping through my hands,
Like broken glass in falling sand.
Every second cuts me deep,
The clock keeps digging while I sleep.
Pre-Chorus
I watched the days dissolve in gray,
Tried to save it all—let it slip away.
Chorus
I fought so hard, I burned so long,
Carried the weight when everything was wrong.
I gave my faith, I crossed the line,
Lost myself just buying time.
I had to break to feel it all,
Had to stand just to watch it fall.
And now I’m staring at the truth that shatters—
In the end… it never mattered.
Verse 2 (half-rap / spoken)
I swallowed words, I locked the pain,
Built these walls just to stay sane.
Every promise bent and cracked,
Every step—no turning back.
You pulled me close just to remind
Me I was never really mine.
I wore your doubt like second skin,
Tried to win where I couldn’t fit in.
Pre-Chorus
Nothing’s left the way it was,
I don’t recognize who I’ve become.
Chorus
I fought so hard, I burned so long,
Held my breath just to stay strong.
I gave my trust, I lost control,
Bled myself to save the whole.
I had to fall to see the cost,
Had to lose to feel what’s lost.
Now every echo of the past just scatters—
In the end… it never mattered.
Bridge (build – raw, stripped)
I put my faith in something hollow,
Followed hope I couldn’t follow.
Pushed myself past breaking through,
Just to prove I was enough for you.
Every step, another scar,
I didn’t know how lost we are.
Breakdown (quiet, haunted)
Time doesn’t heal…
It just reminds.
Final Chorus (full lift)
I tried to fight, I tried to stay,
Tried to outrun what wouldn’t change.
I held on tight, I let it take,
Everything I couldn’t save.
I had to break to feel it all,
Had to rise just to watch it fall.
Now I’m standing in the wreckage that shatters—
In the end…
In the end…
It never mattered.
Outro (echoing, unresolved)
It never mattered…
But I still tried.
