[Intro]
mm-mm…
yeah… this is me
(this is just me)
[Verse 1]
when real life gets too loud for me
I disappear inside my head quietly
not running away, I swear I’m still here
just… somewhere softer, somewhere clear
I don’t say “I’m okay” out loud
I just drift off in a quieter crowd
and build a place where I can breathe
even if nobody follows me
[Pre-Chorus]
and maybe it looks like I’m gone
but I’m just… coping on my own
[Chorus]
when real life gets heavy
I retreat inward, I fall into me
my world becomes somewhere I can stay
until the ache fades away
but when I feel lighter
when the noise in my chest goes still
my universe comes back online
(yeah… it always will)
and I remember…
I remember I can feel again
[Post-Chorus]
oh-oh…
I come back slowly
yeah-yeah…
don’t worry, I’m still here
[Verse 2]
it’s not that I stop loving out there
I just get overwhelmed everywhere
so I go where my thoughts can breathe
where only I can hear me
and my characters… they don’t leave
they just wait in between my dreams
like, “we’re still here, Lexi… come on back”
and I swear I can feel that
[Pre-Chorus]
like I never really lose it
I just… close the door for a bit
[Chorus]
when real life gets heavy
I retreat inward, I fall into me
my world becomes somewhere I can stay
until I’m okay
but when I feel lighter
when something in me says “try again”
my universe comes back online
and I let it in
[Bridge]
I used to think that meant I was broken
like why can’t I just stay open?
but maybe I don’t disappear…
maybe I just… disappear to heal
(yeah… maybe that’s it)
and I always come back softer
not gone… just different after
[Final Chorus]
when real life gets heavy
I don’t fall apart, I go inside
and I build a world where I can survive
until I’m alright
and when I feel lighter
I don’t restart, I return
to everything I left burning
that never stopped learning me
[Outro]
mm-mm…
I’m back again
(hi…)
yeah… I’m back again
my world… still here
so I am too
Beexii
