Empty Hoodie

(Intro)

Yeah…

They think I’m okay ‘cause I laugh for a minute…

They don’t know what’s really going on.

(Verse 1)

I’m the quiet kid with a storm in my chest,

Trying to smile, but I’m tired of the test.

Everybody leaves when the sky turns gray,

So I learned how to hide all my pain away.

Got scars that you can’t see under my clothes,

A heart full of dreams that nobody knows.

Mama says, “Keep your head up, you’ll be alright,”

But it’s hard to see hope when you can’t sleep at night.

(Chorus)

I’m just a sad boy walking through the rain,

Trying to hide all this hurt and this pain.

Looking for love, but it slips through my hands,

I’m just trying to be someone who understands.

I’m just a sad boy, lost inside my mind,

Leaving all my broken memories behind.

Maybe one day I’ll finally see the light,

But for now I’m just surviving every night.

(Verse 2)

Friends disappeared when I needed them most,

Now I’m talking to memories and chasing ghosts.

Every “I’m okay” is another disguise,

You can see the truth if you look in my eyes.

I don’t want revenge, I just wanted someone,

Who’d stay when the hard days finally come.

So I’ll keep writing verses instead of crying out loud,

Hoping one day I’ll make my family proud.

(Outro)

I’m still standing, even after the fall.

Maybe I’m broken… but I haven’t lost it all.

This pain won’t last forever—that’s what I believe.

So I’ll keep moving forward… with my heart on my sleeve
