Verse 1:
It’s hard to watch it all just fall apart,
Hard to sleep with a heavy heart.
Tears burn, and I can’t fix a thing,
My mind’s a warzone, lost in the ring.
My heart beats loud, but I don’t know why,
Thoughts cut deep, make me wanna cry.
I rewind time to those better days,
Could’ve done more, but I threw it away.
Now I just speak, no filter, no mask,
Trying to understand what’s real, that’s the task.
I’m trapped between dreams and reality’s cage,
A notebook soul, ink bleeding the page.
Hook:
I’m searching for peace in the lines I write,
Trying to find truth in the darkest night.
But all I got left are scars and stones,
Worn-out dreams and broken bones.
Verse 2:
This is off the top, no pen, no plan,
From my spine to my toes, I’m just one man.
I’ll find my soul, though it’s out of sight,
Maybe not today, but I just might.
This life is mine, I hold it tight,
No more chains from a love that wasn’t right.
Still feel the lies like they stain my chest,
But I woke from the dream — now I’m blessed.
So I breathe, I move, I smile again,
Through pain, through loss, through every end.
Bridge:
When people are kind, I feel unworthy,
Like my heart’s too broken, too dirty.
Wanna toss this phone, this empty home,
Drift away, let my soul just roam.
Let smoke fill lungs, dry out my voice,
So I don’t break things I love by choice.
Memories like photos I can’t delete,
They haunt my mind, they steal my sleep.
Verse 3:
I ain’t chasing love, just real connection,
No fake moves, no forced affection.
If it grows, then let it bloom,
But I ain’t rushing fate too soon.
I just wanna be free from the chains and lies,
From a world where truth too often dies.
Where hearts bleed dry with every beat,
And pain repeats in an endless looped sheet.
Outro - “The Apple I Picked”
You were the apple, the rarest one,
Not for the looks or the warmth of the sun.
You stood out in the blinding light,
Brighter than stars in the coldest night.
Out of all the apples, I picked you true,
Not for the shine — but because you’re you.
And in that moment, clear as the sky…
I was just thankful to call you mine.
