Verse 1 – Style: Dark Pop / Alt R&B | BPM: 72-85 | Mood: haunting, minimal piano, airy pads]
I know I look pretty in the right kind of light
But did you notice the scars I hide at night
The way I tug at my shirt like I’m trying to disappear
Or how I watch celebrations like I don’t belong here
[Pre-Chorus – Style: ambient tension | soft bass swell, heartbeat kick]
You see the surface, you don’t read the lines
I’m screaming in silence between the signs
[Chorus – Style: Emotional Alt Pop | layered vocals, echo, slow drums]
Did you notice me breaking while I smiled for you
Did you notice the damage I was dancing through
Every “I’m fine” was a lie I rehearsed
You loved the shine, never saw the hurt
Did you notice… or did you just look away
[Verse 2 – Style: Alt R&B | BPM: 72 | subtle snap drums, reverb guitar]
Yeah, I got nice eyes, at least that’s what they say
But did you notice how the light just fades away
The tears I hold hostage, locked behind my face
Or how I tear myself apart for every small mistake
[Pre-Chorus – same style, slightly more intensity]
You hear my voice but you miss the truth
I’ve been at war since my youth
[Chorus – fuller, heavier drums added]
Did you notice me breaking while I smiled for you
Did you notice the damage I was dancing through
Every “I’m fine” was a lie I rehearsed
You loved the shine, never saw the hurt
Did you notice… or did you just look away
[Verse 3-Dark Alt Pop | BPM: 74 | low bass, tense atmosphere]
Yeah, I play my part, I know what you need
But did you notice the panic underneath
When your hands pulled close, did you feel me freeze
Or how I hold my breath like I don’t deserve to breathe
[Verse 4-cinematic build | strings, distant drums]
Yeah, I built a shell, tough enough to survive
But there’s a little girl inside still screaming alive
Did you notice the light slowly dying in me
Or the ghost of the woman I used to be
[Bridge-stripped piano, emotional peak]
Yeah, I always said yes, even when it broke me down
Did you notice I don’t even know how to say “no” now
Every boundary blurred, every line erased
Self-worth buried, no safe place
Yeah, I was “easy” but you missed the why
The patterns, the pain, the reasons I complied
Silent bruises, quiet control
Living a life that swallowed me whole
[Breakdown-spoken/whispered, no drums]
Yeah, I’m “too much,” yeah, I’m “the problem,” right
But that’s just your version of the fight
I found my voice, I drew my line
I’m not your puppet this time
[Final Chorus- explosive alt pop | full drums, layered vocals, distortion]
Did you notice me rising while you held me down
Did you notice I don’t need you now
Every scar turned into flame in my chest
You saw the worst, but I became my best
Did you notice… I finally chose me
[Outro – Style: soft piano, fading ambience]
Yeah… I noticed the truth in the pain I survived
I noticed the growth, yeah I came out alive
I see your games, I see your disgusted
Now leave me alone
I’m done saying goodbye
