(Verse 1)
When I turned sixteen, my world went still,
My youth got lost, against my will.
White rooms, cold lights, endless days,
Needles and pills that stole my grace.
(Pre-Chorus)
Everyone says I look okay,
But they don’t see the price I pay.
They never ask, they never call,
I fade away behind these walls.
(Chorus)
I smile for the crowd, but I’m breaking inside,
Fighting my demons I’m forced to hide.
No medicine strong enough to make me whole,
I’m losing the war, but I can’t let it show.
I’m just trying to survive the night,
Trying to be the strong girl in the light.
(Verse 2)
Depression whispers, “you’re not enough,”
I fake a laugh, but it’s getting tough.
I listen to others, but no one hears me,
Drowning in silence, too deep to see.
(Pre-Chorus)
My mind’s a storm, I can’t escape,
My thoughts replay, they suffocate.
I hold it in, I wear a mask,
Pretend I’m fine, that’s all they ask.
(Chorus)
I smile for the crowd, but I’m breaking inside,
Fighting my demons I’m forced to hide.
No medicine strong enough to make me whole,
I’m losing the war, but I can’t let it show.
I’m just trying to survive the night,
Trying to be the strong girl in the light.
(Bridge)
And when the darkness starts to speak,
I close my eyes, I barely breathe.
But something in me still believes,
There’s more to life than pain and grief.
(Final Chorus)
I smile for the crowd, though I’m dying inside,
Still fighting the demons I’m forced to hide.
No cure can heal the scars I own,
But I won’t give up, I’m not alone.
I’ll keep trying to survive the night,
Still that strong girl in the light.
