[Intro]
In the shadows I stand, feelin' so small
Lost in the hustle, I’m lettin’ it crawl
Day after day, it’s a fight for a chance
With the weight on my shoulders, I just want to dance
[Verse 1]
Tired of the pressure, every word feels like steel
Wearing down my spirit, how do I heal?
Sippin' on silence, drowning in doubt
Hope is flickering, can’t find a way out
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish you could see me, the heart underneath
I’m more than a number, more than a beast
Feeling like a shadow, muted in grey
I’m screaming for solace, but it fades away
[Chorus]
Why does it feel like a fight?
When all I need is the light
Can you hear my heart breaking?
In this endless night, I’m shaking
[Verse 2]
Running in circles, wearing thin on the seams
Every step feels heavy, haunted by dreams
I’m searching for kindness in a room full of stone
Competing in silence, feeling so alone
[Pre-Chorus]
When will I be seen, just for who I am?
A light in the dark, not a game or a plan
Caught in the rivalry, lost in the race
I’m waving my banner, trying to find grace
[Chorus]
Why does it feel like a fight?
When all I need is the light
Can you hear my heart breaking?
In this endless night, I’m shaking
[Bridge]
But deep inside I know, there's strength in my core
I’ll rise from these ashes, I’ll find something more
This battle won't define me, I’ll learn to be free
With every breath taking, I’ll write my own story
[Chorus]
Why does it feel like a fight?
When all I need is the light
Can you hear my heart breaking?
In this endless night, I’m shaking
[Outro]
So here I’ll stand, no longer afraid
Embracing my worth, in the choices I’ve made
With every tear fallen, I'll turn them to fate
No more competition; I’m learning to wait
No longer competing, just being me,
That’s the only prize I need to be free.
