[Intro – Whispered, soft piano + heartbeat bass]
I swear I’ve tried everything…
Cut the coffee for some tea,
Cutting people who were mean,
But nothing ever sets me free.
(beat drops faintly)
Talking to the walls again —
At least they echo back to me.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Slow, melodic rap / sung flow]
Therapy twice a week,
But my heart still skips the beat.
Told myself to try to sleep,
But the nightmares never leave.
They said it gets better — lies in disguise,
I peeked ‘round the corner, it’s pain in reprise.
Smiling in crowds, but dead in the eyes,
Guess this is what surviving feels like.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Soft vocal + echoing harmonies]
I’m running out of reasons why,
Can’t fake the peace inside.
And when they ask if I’m okay…
All I can say…
⸻
[Chorus – Full vocal bloom + slow electronic beat]
It is, it is, it is what it hurts,
Every lesson feels rehearsed.
All the prayers just fade to dirt,
I’ve been baptized in reverse.
I’m bleeding out of borrowed faith,
Still pounding on heaven’s gate.
Oh-oh-oh…
It is what it hurts.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Soft vocal build + low drums]
I feel everything and nothing at the same time,
Every laugh feels like a crime.
Medication dulls the rhyme,
And I can’t tell what’s yours or mine.
You’re walking on the water that I’m drowning in,
And I hear that whisper, but it’s just the wind.
My shadow’s my only friend,
This loop just never ends.
⸻
[Bridge – Whispered breakdown + strings]
Oh… when I grow numb but I can’t weep,
Wake up but I don’t sleep.
Hide behind my broken self,
Father, save me from myself.
The mirror says, “You’ve done your best.”
But best don’t fix the emptiness.
And I confess… I’ve tried everything,
But I still feel less.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Climactic, layered vocals]
It is, it is, it is what it hurts,
Every dream just makes it worse.
All the stars just start to blur,
But I still look up first.
All the way up to heaven’s light,
Still no answer, still no sign.
Oh-oh-oh…
It is what it hurts.
⸻
[Outro – Soft whisper over fading piano]
I swear I’ve tried everything…
Cut the coffee for some tea…
Still waiting for something to work —
But maybe pain’s just part of me.
(heartbeat fades out)
