Verse 1
I learned it young, before I had the words
A weight in my chest, like a truth unheard
Crowded rooms, but I’m standing alone
Smiling on cue, like I’ve always known
How to look fine, how to carry it well
How to laugh on the outside, ring the bell
Verse 2
It’s waking up wrapped in a dim gray day
Like the sun forgot how to find its way
Every thought moves slow, every step feels thick
Time drips heavy, like it’s playing a trick
People say, “You’re strong,” and I nod, I agree
But they don’t see the war that’s inside of me
Chorus
I live in a fog that won’t lift or break
I wear a brave face for my own sake
No one hears the quiet, constant noise
No one sees the cost of making this choice
But I’m still here, still standing tall
I bend, I breathe, but I don’t fall
Verse 3
There are days I feel miles away
From who I was, from yesterday
I show up, I do what I have to do
Carry the load, see the whole day through
Isolation dressed up as “I’m okay”
I’ve mastered the art of getting through the day
Chorus
I live in a fog that won’t lift or break
I wear a brave face for my own sake
No one hears the quiet, constant noise
No one sees the cost of making this choice
But I’m still here, still choosing life
Still fighting through the longest nights
Bridge
And then—sometimes—the clouds thin out
I feel my pulse, I feel no doubt
A laugh lands deep, a breath feels free
For a moment, I remember me
Those moments prove what I already know
There’s light in here, even when it’s low
Final Chorus
I won’t give up, I never have
I’m still walking this broken path
Peace isn’t gone, it lives inside
That’s the reason I still fight
I know the calm is part of me
I’ll find my way back, eventually
Outro
So I keep going, year by year
Through the fog, through the fear
Still here. Still breathing. Still alive.
And that alone means I survive.
Weseeyou
