[Verse 1 – Quiet, sincere]
I’ve walked that road you’re standing on
Where silence screams and hope is gone
I know the weight you’re trying to hide
The war you fight behind your eyes
I’ve worn the mask and played the part
While falling through a breaking heart
But let me say this loud and clear
You’re not alone… I’ve been right here
[Chorus – Uplifting and wide open]
I’ve been there
In the dark with no way out
I’ve been there
Full of questions, full of doubt
But I made it through the night
And now I shine a little light
If you're scared…
Know that someone still cares
You’re not alone
I’ve been there
[Verse 2 – Stronger, rising in comfort]
I know those thoughts that haunt your sleep
The lies that say you're far too weak
But scars don’t mean the fight is lost
They just remind us what strength costs
So if you’re sinking in the tide
I’ll wade in and stand by your side
You don’t have to bleed in silence
There’s healing found in shared defiance
[Chorus – Repeat, bigger with layered vocals]
I’ve been there
In the dark with no way out
I’ve been there
Full of questions, full of doubt
But I made it through the night
And now I shine a little light
If you're scared…
Know that someone still cares
You’re not alone
I’ve been there
[Bridge – Raw, stripped down]
I won’t pretend to have all the answers
But I can offer something real
A voice that knows the pain you carry
And a hand that helps you heal
[Final Chorus – Triumphant and full]
I’ve been there
In the shadows where you stand
I’ve been there
Still reaching out my hand
If you feel you’ve lost your spark
I’ll help you find light in the dark
You’re not broken
You’re just scared
You’re not alone
I’ve been there
