(Verse 1)
Woke up with a weight on my chest again
Sunlight leaking through the blinds, but it won’t come in
Mirror shows a face I barely know
Eyes so tired, moving way too slow
Voices in my head don’t ever sleep
They whisper all the doubts I try to keep
Every “what if” turns to “you can’t”
Every breath feels second-hand
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m smiling in the crowd but I’m breaking alone
Heart like a cracked screen, flickering phone
I scream but it’s silent, nobody hears
Drowning in the noise of my own fears
(Chorus)
This pain don’t fade, it echoes in my brain
Anxiety rain, pouring every day
I’m fighting a war they can’t see
Depression got a hold on me
I’m lost in the dark, can’t find the light
Shaking at 3 a.m. every night
But I’m still breathing, even when it’s hard
Even with a shattered heart
(Verse 2)
Overthinking every word I said
Replaying every moment in my head
“What if they leave? What if I fail?”
Thoughts like a storm with hurricane gales
Phone buzzing but I let it ring
Don’t got the strength for anything
Fake “I’m good” when they ask how I feel
Truth is, I don’t even know what’s real
(Pre-Chorus)
Heavy chest, I can’t slow down
Mind racing while I’m stuck in the ground
Trying to stand but my knees won’t bend
Every bad thought feels like the end
(Chorus)
This pain don’t fade, it echoes in my brain
Anxiety rain, pouring every day
I’m fighting a war they can’t see
Depression got a hold on me
I’m lost in the dark, can’t find the light
Shaking at 3 a.m. every night
But I’m still breathing, even when it’s hard
Even with a shattered heart
(Bridge)
If I disappear, would they notice the space?
Or just replace me without a trace?
I’m tired of battling what’s in my mind
Trying to heal what I can’t define
But maybe the scars mean I survived
Maybe I’m stronger just staying alive
Even when hope feels paper-thin
There’s a spark somewhere within
(Final Chorus – softer, hopeful)
This pain won’t stay, it won’t always rain
Clouds break open after the strain
I’m fighting a war they can’t see
But it won’t always own me
I’m finding the light, even if it’s small
Crawling forward when I fall
I’m still breathing, that’s my start
Healing a slowly mending heart
