Verse 1
Wake up, same light through the blinds
but it don’t land the same this time
Coffee’s cold, I’m wide awake
fighting thoughts I can’t outrun or shake
Put on a face, tie it tight
say “I’m good” and step outside
No one hears the noise I keep
it’s loud enough to steal my sleep
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, I know how it looks from the outside in
but there’s a war in places you’ve never been
Chorus
Some days it’s heavy, I carry it all
like I’m walking on glass but I won’t let it show
No, you can’t see the cracks in my skin
but they’re there underneath, where it all begins
Some days are harder, I barely get through
but I still lace my shoes like I’ve got something to prove
I bend, I break, but I don’t stay down
I keep moving forward, inch by inch, through the sound
⸻
Verse 2
Laugh at things I almost feel
like I’m acting out something real
In every room I play my part
while holding storms inside my heart
There’s no bruise, no blood, no scar
you can point to from where you are
But silence cuts a deeper line
than anything you’ll ever find
Pre-Chorus
And I’ve learned how to hide it well
even from myself sometimes
⸻
Chorus
Some days it’s heavy, I carry it all
like I’m walking on glass but I won’t let it show
No, you can’t see the cracks in my skin
but they’re there underneath, where it all begins
Some days are harder, I barely get through
but I still lace my shoes like I’ve got something to prove
I bend, I break, but I don’t stay down
I keep moving forward, inch by inch, through the sound
⸻
Bridge
If you looked a little closer
would you see it in my eyes?
All the nights I’ve held it together
just to make it to daylight
And I don’t need saving
I just need some space to breathe
‘Cause even on my worst days
there’s a part of me that still believes
⸻
Final Chorus
Yeah, it’s heavy—but I carry it still
every crack, every doubt, every climb uphill
No, you don’t see the weight that I hold
but I’m stronger than the story I’ve been told
Some days I’m shattered, some days I stand
but I’m learning to live with the shape that I am
I bend, I break—but I heal somehow
and I’m still here walking, even now
⸻
Outro
Not every scar is meant to be seen
but that don’t mean it’s not real to me
