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)
["Hope— I'm— not— too— late…"]
["Please— don’t— die— hard…"]
["Change— me— softly…"]
(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)
["Hope— I'm— not— too— late…"]
["To— let— love— in…"]
["Die— soft— in— the— light…"]
(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
