Verse 1
Some mornings feel heavier than the night before,
The ceiling knows my name, I don’t fight it anymore.
My phone keeps buzzing, time keeps moving on,
But getting out of bed feels like climbing with no arms.
The sink is full, the floor needs care,
I stare at it like it’s not even there.
Simple things feel miles away,
Breathing takes more strength than I can say.
Pre-Chorus
I rehearse my smile before I speak,
Say “I’m okay” like it comes easy.
Chorus
I look fine from the outside, put together just enough,
I laugh at the right moments, say I’m strong, say I’m tough.
But inside I’m fighting just to stay,
Just to choose to live another day.
I carry battles no one sees,
I hide the cracks so carefully.
I look fine from the outside—
But I’m breaking quietly.
Verse 2
I know how to show up, know what to say,
Know how to make the pain behave.
I get dressed, I clean, I play my part,
While something heavy sits on my heart.
I’m good at being functional,
But surviving shouldn’t feel impossible.
I wish someone knew how hard I try,
How tired I am of asking myself why.
Pre-Chorus
If honesty didn’t feel like shame,
Maybe I’d say my real name.
Chorus
I look fine from the outside, everything in place,
No one sees the war behind my face.
I smile like I’m not afraid,
Like I don’t question if I’ll be okay.
I carry battles no one sees,
I hide the cracks so carefully.
I look fine from the outside—
But I’m breaking quietly.
Bridge
This isn’t weakness, this is weight,
This is waking up and choosing to stay.
If living feels like work some days,
That doesn’t mean I’m failing—it means I stayed.
Final Chorus (soft, honest)
I look fine from the outside, but I’m learning how to say
That existing takes courage in a thousand hidden ways.
If you see me standing here,
Know it cost me everything.
I’m still here, even when it hurts—
And that means more than you think.
Outro
If I don’t say it out loud,
This song will speak for me.
