Verse 1]
Lyin’ in the dark with a heavy soul
World outside still movin’ but I feel so cold
Smile on my face, but it’s all pretend
Tell me, when does the pain ever end?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tryna breathe, but it’s hard some days
Feelin’ lost in a quiet haze
They say, “Hold on,” but they don’t see
The storm that’s livin’ inside me
[Chorus]
It’s like a weight on me, can’t break free
Shadows in my mind, they won’t let me be
I’m tryna stand tall, but I’m on my knees
And nobody knows, nobody sees
It’s like a weight on me…
[Verse 2]
Mirror shows a stranger, don’t know who I am
Tired of runnin’ from the silence, tired of this jam
Every step feels like a mountain climb
Feelin’ stuck in this loop of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Sayin’ I’m okay just to get through
But the truth is I’m black and blue
Wish I could scream and let it go
But I don’t wanna let them know
[Chorus]
It’s like a weight on me, can’t break free
Shadows in my mind, they won’t let me be
I’m tryna stand tall, but I’m on my knees
And nobody knows, nobody sees
It’s like a weight on me…
[Bridge]
But maybe there’s light if I make it to the dawn
Maybe I’ll find the strength to carry on
Just one breath, one step at a time
Even when it don’t feel right
[Final Chorus]
Still got a weight on me, but I’m tryna fight
Even in the dark, I’m searchin’ for light
I’ve been to the bottom, but I’m not done
Still holdin’ on ‘til the mornin’ comes
Even with a weight on me…
I’m still breathin’
