(Verse 1)
Stepped into a world I didn’t know,
Thought I’d learn, thought I’d grow.
But the walls were cold, the silence loud,
Left to drown in a restless crowd.
(Pre-Chorus)
They walked away when I needed a hand,
Left me standing, trying to understand.
No one told me, no one cared,
I was breaking, but no one was there.
(Chorus)
I was all on my own, fighting the tide,
Trying to lead when I barely survived.
Losing my temper, losing my way,
Haunted by the words I wish I didn’t say.
I tried, I tried, but I couldn’t break through,
And now the guilt still follows me like a shadow in the room.
(Verse 2)
Lessons too big for hands so small,
Children laughing, but I felt so lost.
Every mistake, every tear I hid,
Felt like proof that I wasn’t fit.
(Pre-Chorus)
They walked away when I needed a hand,
Left me standing, trying to understand.
No one told me, no one cared,
I was breaking, but no one was there.
(Chorus)
I was all on my own, fighting the tide,
Trying to lead when I barely survived.
Losing my temper, losing my way,
Haunted by the words I wish I didn’t say.
I tried, I tried, but I couldn’t break through,
And now the guilt still follows me like a shadow in the room.
(Bridge)
Could I have been stronger? Could I have held on?
Would it have mattered when the odds felt so wrong?
I gave what I had, but it wasn’t enough,
Now I carry the weight of the moments I crushed.
(Final Chorus)
I was all on my own, drowning inside,
Trying to teach when I just wanted to hide.
Losing my temper, losing my grace,
I still see the echoes, still feel the shame.
I tried, I tried, but I couldn’t break through,
And now the guilt still follows me like a shadow in the room.
(Outro)
Maybe one day I’ll forgive myself,
Maybe one day I’ll find my help.
But tonight, I sit with the ghosts I’ve known,
Still learning how to let them go.
