Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – low, restrained] Yeah… You ever feel like… you made it through — but didn’t come back the same? ⸻ [Verse 1] Woke up fine now I’m pacing slow Heart racing but I’m moving low Used to run, never thought twice Now I’m counting steps just to feel alright They say “rest,” yeah I tried that Still feel it when I lie flat Same old face in the mirror stare But something underneath ain’t there ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You don’t see it But I feel it Every time I try to breathe ⸻ [HOOK – make this hit] I’m not the same… not the same Walk it off — but it don’t change You don’t see what I can’t explain Long COVID — I’m not the same I’m not the same… not the same Everything just rearranged Try to move but I’m out of range Long COVID — I’m not the same ⸻ [Verse 2] One infection, then it shifted Now my baseline’s something different Energy gone, can’t fake that Push too hard and I pay back Brain fog hit mid-sentence Lose my words, lose the presence You say “you look fine” — I know But you don’t see the undertow ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You don’t see it But I’m living Every second underneath ⸻ [HOOK] I’m not the same… not the same Walk it off — but it don’t change You don’t see what I can’t explain Long COVID — I’m not the same I’m not the same… not the same Everything just rearranged Try to move but I’m out of range Long COVID — I’m not the same ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, emotional peak] Months go by — still here Say it fades — not clear No cast, no scar to show But it’s deeper than you know If I could trade it back Every step I’d take that But I’m learning how to stand In a body I don’t understand ⸻ [Final Hook – bigger, layered] I’m not the same… not the same Yeah it lingers, never changed You don’t see it but it remains Long COVID — I’m not the same I’m not the same… not the same Every system out of place Say I’m fine but it’s not the case Long COVID — I’m not the same ⸻ [Outro – soft fade] Yeah… Still here… I’m not the same…
