Lyrics

[Instrumental – soft vocal run, ambient strings, echo adlibs (male), light piano ticks like fading time]

[Violin hum builds under the surface like something about to break]

---

Verse 1

I stay quiet, never say what I’m feelin’

People think I’m fine ‘cause I keep healin’

But they don’t know the war I’m hidin’

Or the nights where I just lay there in silence

Still got dreams, but they feel so distant

Like I’m fading slow with no resistance

They all say, “You’re always calm”

But they don’t see how far I’ve gone

---

Pre-Chorus (build up, vocal lift, orchestral tension)

Hands on my chest, eyes to the sky

God, I don’t even know why I try

If I break, would they still care?

Or would I just disappear?

---

Chorus (harmonies, highlight lines, iconic melody)

(Oh) Dear me, take the weight out of my bones

Take this ache I carry when I’m alone

Take the fear I’ll never be enough

(Oh) Dear me, I’m still holding on for light

But it’s cold inside my mind tonight

Take the way I fake it with a smile

When I’ve been numb for a while

---

Verse 2

I feel love like fire for the people

But for myself, I don’t feel equal

Always give, but I feel unseen

Like I’m just a background in their dream

I forgive when I’m still hurtin’

I stay soft while my heart is burnin’

They say I’m strong ‘cause I don’t shout

But silence is just me worn out

---

Pre-Chorus 2 (deeper orchestral lift, higher harmony)

Hands on my chest, tired of the mask

Wanna love myself but I can’t ask

Scared that if I speak too loud

They’ll leave me in this crowd

---

Chorus 2 (brighter tones, layered vocals, instrumental drop)

(Oh) Dear me, take the weight out of my bones

Take this ache I carry when I’m alone

Take the fear I’ll never be enough

(Oh) Dear me, I still wish for something true

But I don’t know what else to do

Take the way I try to stay so strong

When I’ve been hurting too long

---

Bridge (cinematic tension, slow string chords)

I used to dream, I used to laugh

Now I just wait for days to pass

I care for them so endlessly

But no one ever holds me

I talk to God, I ask the sky

Is it wrong to just wanna cry?

To want a love that doesn’t fade

To feel like I’m not just used and played

---

Final Chorus (massive harmony, vocal stack, emotional climax)

Dear me, you don’t have to be okay

You don’t have to fix yourself today

You deserve to rest inside your pain

Dear me, even broken, you still shine

Even lost, you’re still divine

You don’t have to earn the love you crave

You just need to feel safe

Outro

[Floating energy – soft vocal run (baritone falsetto), ambient strings swirl, piano fades like heartbeat slowing]

[Echo adlibs: “Still here… still here… still me…”]
