Voices in my chest

Verse 1]
I don’t know how to love you right
Feels like I’m learning every night
From broken pieces of my past
Trying to build something that lasts

Every touch feels like a test
Every word inside my chest
Got a thousand voices screaming loud
Tellin’ me I’m not enough

[Pre-Chorus]
One says “run,” one says “stay”
One says “love just fades away”
One says “trust is just a lie”
Another says “don’t even try”

I’m torn between the truth and fear
And I don’t know what you see in me here

[Chorus]
‘Cause loving you feels like a war in my mind
Every step forward, I’m pulled from behind
I don’t know which voice I’m supposed to believe
The one that wants you or the one that leaves

I’ve been so lost, so numb inside
Turned off my heart just to survive
But somehow you still found me here
Through all my doubt, through all my fear

⸻

[Verse 2]
Trust don’t come easy to me
It shattered once, now it don’t leave
I see the cracks in everything
Even when there’s nothing

I learned to love without a soul
Just empty nights to fill the hole
Chasin’ feelings that weren’t real
Just to feel like I could feel

Turned my heart to something cold
Traded truth for being told
That I was wanted for a night
Instead of loved for all my life

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
One says “don’t let her get close”
One says “you’ll hurt her the most”
One says “you’re too far gone”
Another says “you’ve been strong”

I’m caught inside this endless fight
Between the dark and something right

⸻

[Chorus]
‘Cause loving you feels like a war in my mind
Every step forward, I’m pulled from behind
I don’t know which voice I’m supposed to believe
The one that wants you or the one that leaves

I’ve been so lost, so numb inside
Turned off my heart just to survive
But somehow you still found me here
Through all my doubt, through all my fear

⸻

[Bridge]
But you… you don’t sound like them
You don’t break, you don’t pretend
You don’t run when I fall apart
You stay and speak to my shattered heart

You don’t fight to win or control
You just love me, flaws and all
And I don’t understand it yet
But you’re the one voice I don’t regret

⸻

[Final Chorus]
Now loving you still shakes my soul
But you make something broken whole
And even when I don’t feel right
You stay, you don’t walk out of sight

I’m still confused, still scared it’s true
But I’m learning love because of you
Through every doubt, through every scar
You see me better than I are

⸻

[Outro]
So if I don’t always get it right
If I still lose these inner fights
Just know I’m trying more each day

And I’m grateful… you chose to stay
