[Intro – chaotic whispers vs calm voice]
(Voices): nobody likes you… you’re fakin’ it… just stop…
(Me – tense): shut up… just—stop…
[Verse 1]
(Me)
I been tryin’ to smile, say I’m finally okay
Told myself “new day, I’ll be better today”
(Voices)
you’re lyin’ again… you ain’t changin’, no way
(Me)
I’m laughin’ out loud but it’s startin’ to fade
Every step forward feel like it don’t stay
(Voices)
they don’t even like you… they just act that way
[Pre-Chorus]
(Me – getting louder)
Why you always in my head when I’m doin’ alright?!
(Voices)
‘cause you know we right… you just scared of the night
(Me)
I said STOP, I’m done listenin’ to lies
[Chorus]
(Me)
I’m broken but I don’t wanna fall apart
Tryna build myself up, yeah, a brand new start
(Voices)
you’ll never be enough… you ain’t got the heart
(Me – yelling)
SHUT UP! You don’t get to tear me apart!
If I can’t keep up with this damn heart
I’ll still fight every beat, I’ll still play my part
(Voices)
just give in… just quit… it’s too hard—
(Me – firm)
Nah… I’m still here, I’ve come this far
[Verse 2]
(Voices)
remember every time you felt alone?
every text ignored… every empty phone?
(Me – shaken)
Yeah I remember, yeah it still hits deep
But I ain’t that same person I used to be
(Voices)
you’ll always be that… you can’t escape
(Me)
Maybe I bend… yeah maybe I break
But I’m still standin’, what more can I take?
[Bridge – emotional breaking point]
(Voices – overwhelming)
end it… fade out… nobody cares…
(Me – breath shaking, then rising)
NO.
You don’t get to decide if I’m still here.
Yeah I hurt… yeah I got these scars
But pain ain’t the end, it’s just where I start
Even on days when it’s way too hard
I’m still breathin’… I’m still fightin’… that’s who I are
[Final Chorus – powerful, voices fading]
(Me)
I’m broken but I don’t wanna fall apart
Tryna build myself up from a shattered heart
(Voices – fading)
you can’t—
(Me – overpowering)
WATCH ME.
If I can’t keep up with this damn heart
I’ll still push through the dark, I’ll restart
Yeah it hurts, yeah it leaves its scars
But I’m still here… and that means I’m strong
[Outro – quiet, victorious but emotional]
(Voices – distant)
…you’ll fall…
(Me – calm)
Maybe.
…but I’ll get back up.
Every time.
