(Verse 1 – soft melodic rap/sing)

I got some regrets, I bury 'em deep

But I don’t sleep too well when my heart don’t speak

Tryna unlearn pain I held so tight

Got ghosts in my mirror and dreams at night

Told myself I could change for you

But I’ve broken more than I built, it’s true

Still hoping I ain’t too far gone

To love and be loved like I used to want

(Drop 1 – Vocal Chop + Phonk Bass Drop)

(Verse 2 – auto-tuned melodic flow)

I see the child in me, scared to open

Taught to hold pain like it’s somethin’ golden

But your patience feels like summer rain

Washin’ off the code I was taught to contain

I tried to bury the truth with the fame

Tried to forgive while still playin' the game

But tonight I just wanna feel safe in skin

Let you see me from the place I’ve been

(Bridge – ambient, layered FX)

(whispers)

"*Please… don’t die hard…*"

"*I want to heal… not just pretend.*"

"*Let me be softer, slower… real again.*"

(Drop 2 – Emotional Peak)

(Outro – piano + distant vocals)

I want to love me enough

That loving you don’t hurt

I want to see you clear

Without hiding in the dirt

I hope… I hope I’m not too late
