RHYTHM

Verse 1

I was fine on the surface

Dead calm, no waves

Same coffee, same streets

Same “I’m okay”

I called it peace, I called it grown

But I was breaking on my own

I stayed ‘cause it was easy

Didn’t see how far I’d gone

Pre-Chorus

I was deep in the comfort

Yeah, I thought that was control

Didn’t know I was empty

‘Til I felt the silence loud

Chorus (catchy, lift)

I didn’t know I needed to let go

‘Til I stepped out of the rhythm I know

I was moving but I wasn’t alive

Just stuck on repeat, barely getting by

Now the air feels different in my lungs

Yeah, the dark don’t hit me like it once done

I didn’t know I needed to break free

But letting go was the best thing for me

Post-Chorus / Hook

Out of the rhythm

Out of the haze

I found myself when I walked away

Verse 2

I wore comfort like armor

Called it safe, called it smart

But it weighed on my shoulders

Yeah, it broke my heart

I mistook routine for truth

Thought staying meant being strong

But the moment I released it

I felt myself come back on

Pre-Chorus

I was scared of the quiet

Of the space after goodbye

But the silence didn’t kill me

It taught me how to try

Chorus

I didn’t know I needed to let go

‘Til I stepped out of the rhythm I know

I was breathing but I wasn’t alive

Just stuck on repeat, wasting time

Now the light hits different on my skin

Yeah, I’m more than who I’ve been

I didn’t know I needed to break free

But letting go was the best thing for me

Bridge (cinematic build)

If you’re listening from the same old place

Thinking numb means safe

I promise you the fall won’t last

There’s more than what you’ve had

Final Chorus (bigger, hopeful)

I didn’t know I needed to let go

‘Til I felt my heart beat on its own

I was living in a half-lit life

Now I’m wide awake, yeah, I’m alright

Now the world feels louder, feels real

Yeah, this healing hits hard but it heals

I didn’t know I needed to be free

But letting go made a man outta me

Outro

Out of the rhythm

Into my life

I lost the habit

And found the light
