Verse 1
I filled notebooks with promises
Plans drawn in the ink of hope
Each departure felt like intoxication
Each fall, a taste of too late
I wake up with dreams too heavy
That I carry alone on my shoulders
The world moves forward, I take detours
With each step, I doubt, I skirt
Pre-chorus
They tell me “hang in there, it will come”
But time watches me in silence
And I count the times I believe
That I confused courage with resistance
Chorus
I feel like I'm always fighting
For projects that never see the light of day
Running without ever reaching
The end of the road, the real detour
I feel like I always fail
Even when I give everything I have
It's hard to believe, it's hard to move forward
When each victory is erased forever
Verse 2
Professional or Personal
The struggle always goes by the same name
I promise myself faithful tomorrows
But they leave me alone at home
I smile so no one sees
The weariness deep in my eyes
I've learned to pretend to believe
That falling makes you stronger, a little
Pre-chorus
But after falling so many times while standing up
I no longer know if I can still hold on
My reflection suddenly asks me
If I've failed at my dreams or my effort
Chorus
I feel like I'm always fighting
For projects that don't hold water
Shouting loudly without ever reaching
Someone who hears me to the end
I feel like I always fail
Even when I do everything right
It's hard to stay, it's hard to try
When hope weighs more than the burden
Bridge
What if failure isn't me
But just a path too narrow
What if surviving each day
Was already an act of love
Maybe I won't win
But I'm still breathing, despite myself
Maybe holding on is already
Refusing to disappear in silence
Last refrain
I keep fighting, anyway
Even tired, even on my knees
Because deep in my sorrows
A fire remains, fragile but fierce
Even if I feel like I'm failing
I'm still walking, I haven't run away
And if nothing has yet come to fruition
It's because my story isn't over
Romain
