Verse 1
Yeah, I been writing what I can’t say out loud
Room full of people but I still feel crowds
They only love you when you’re doing well
When it’s quiet, that’s when you really tell
I remember nights with the phone on 1%
Dreams bigger than the places we were in
Mama said “be patient, don’t rush it”
So I learned how to wait, learned how to trust it
Same friends, but the distance feels new
Everybody got opinions when you start to move
I don’t post much, I let time speak
Seen too many change once they get a peek
Hook
I keep notes on my phone, yeah, feelings I hide
Things I won’t say, but they live inside
I’m calm on the surface, storm in my mind
Tryna stay real in a world that lies
They see the glow, don’t see the nights
When I questioned if I’d be alright
I keep notes on my phone
Just me and the truth when I’m alone
Verse 2
I learned silence is louder than arguing
Some wins don’t come with applauding
I been watching how respect moves
Who checks on you when you got nothing to prove
People say “stay humble,” then test you
Same ones hoping you fail just to message you
I don’t hate, I just remember
How they vanished last September
I ain’t perfect, I replay mistakes
But I grew from the pressure, not the breaks
Still learning how to balance pride
Confidence without losing my side
I don’t flex, I just breathe better now
Same heart, just a clearer route
If I make it, it’s more than me
It’s for the nights I couldn’t sleep
Hook
I keep notes on my phone, yeah, feelings I hide
Things I won’t say, but they live inside
I’m calm on the surface, storm in my mind
Tryna stay real in a world that lies
They see the glow, don’t see the nights
When I questioned if I’d be alright
I keep notes on my phone
Just me and the truth when I’m alone
Bridge
I don’t need revenge, I need peace
Some chapters end, that’s relief
I stopped explaining my pain
To people who only listen to speak
Outro
If you hear this, just know it’s real
No script, no image, just how I feel
Still learning who I’m gonna be
But I’m closer now than they believed
