Prompt / Lyrics
(soft, breathy, intimate) I learned how to speak without saying too much Turn every truth into “I’m out of touch” There’s a weight in my chest I dress up as calm Like breaking in silence is safer than wrong You look at me like I’m still whole Like I don’t feel myself letting go And I don’t know how to explain Why sunshine still feels like rain (building tension) If I start to fade, would you notice me? Or just the version I pretend to be? I’m holding on, but barely— (OPEN, RAW, BELTED) I’ll hide my goodbye in an apology Singing “I’m fine” while it’s killing me Sometimes life cuts deeper than anything else A quiet kind of hurt you don’t show to no one else And I’m screaming inside, but I’m whispering “yes” Sometimes life can be more painful than death So I’ll give you a smile while I’m breaking in two ’Cause it’s easier than telling the truth (slightly stronger, still emotional) There’s a ghost of a kid I used to be Before the world got heavy on me Now every hope feels paper-thin And every breath feels like a sin I laugh, but it don’t sound right Like a song that forgot its light And I hate that you can’t see through All the ways I’m losing you (more intensity) If I disappear in plain sight Between “I’m okay” and “goodnight” Would you fight for me… or let me go? (bigger, more desperate) I’ll hide my goodbye in an apology Drown in the words that you hear from me Sometimes life cuts deeper than anything else A beautiful lie that I tell to myself And I’m holding my breath like I’ve nothing left Sometimes life can be more painful than death So I’ll give you a smile while I’m breaking in two ’Cause it’s easier than telling the truth (STRIPPED — almost spoken, like Faouzia-style vulnerability) I don’t wanna leave… I just don’t know how to stay When every piece of me Is slowly drifting away If love was enough, I’d be alright If hope was louder, I’d still fight But I’m tired… God, I’m tired… (FULL VOCAL RELEASE — raw, cracked, powerful) I WON’T hide my goodbye in an apology I’m done pretending you don’t see Sometimes life cuts deeper than anything else And I can’t keep lying to myself Yeah, I’m screaming it now, no whispers left Sometimes life can be more painful than death If I fall apart right here in front of you— Would you finally see the truth? (soft, fragile again) I’ll hide my goodbye… in an apology Or maybe this time… you’ll hear me
