“I Don’t Know” (A Song of Doubt and Despair)

(Verse 1)

I don’t know… I can’t understand,

Every step I take, just sinking in the sand.

Try to climb, but I fall so low,

Lost in my doubt, nowhere to go.

(Pre-Chorus)

I thought I was flying, touching the sky,

Then the ground gave way, now I’m asking why.

Is there a meaning? Is there a sign?

Or am I just lost in the chaos of time?

(Chorus)

I don’t know, I don’t know why,

Life cuts deep and makes me cry.

I give my heart, I give my trust,

But love turns to ashes, left in the dust.

I don’t know, I don’t know how,

To silence the voices tearing me down.

I wish I could heal, but I’m stuck in the pain,

Second-guessing myself again and again.

(Verse 2)

I’ve held on tight to the ones I adore,

Only to watch them walk out the door.

Loved them so much, but love wasn’t enough,

Now I’m standing here, broken and crushed.

(Pre-Chorus)

I thought I was stronger, thought I could fight,

But the past drags me down in the dead of the night.

Is there a reason? A lesson to learn?

Or am I just cursed to crash and burn?

(Chorus)

I don’t know, I don’t know why,

Life cuts deep and makes me cry.

I give my heart, I give my trust,

But love turns to ashes, left in the dust.

I don’t know, I don’t know how,

To silence the voices tearing me down.

I wish I could heal, but I’m stuck in the pain,

Second-guessing myself again and again.

(Bridge)

Maybe one day, I’ll break free,

Find the strength that’s hiding in me.

But tonight, I’m drowning slow,

And all I can say is—I don’t know.

(Outro)

I don’t know… I can’t understand…

Every step I take… just slipping through my hands.
