Prompt / Lyrics
**Intro** Yeah… Sometimes it get heavy **Verse 1** I been talkin’ to the mirror like it understand Tryna find myself, slippin’ through my hands Room feel small when the thoughts get loud Whole world cheerin’, but I don’t bow Got success sittin’ right on my chest Still feel empty when I get rest I smile easy, but it don’t stick Happiness come, then it dips real quick **Pre-Chorus** They say “slow down, you’ll be alright” But my mind don’t sleep at night **Chorus** I been sinkin’ when I should float Heart too heavy for this little boat Every wave got somethin’ to say I listen even when I drift away Yeah I been low tide, waitin’ on light Still breathin’, just losin’ the fight If I go quiet, don’t mean I’m gone I’m just tryin’ to make it to the dawn --- **Verse 2** I remember when the dreams felt warm Now they hit like a sudden storm Everybody askin’ “what’s next?” I’m still tryna clean the mess I give pieces of myself away Hopin’ somethin’ stay But love leak out through the cracks I don’t know how to take it back **Pre-Chorus** If I stop movin’, I feel it all So I keep runnin’ into walls **Chorus** I been sinkin’ when I should float Say I’m fine, but my voice broke Every night feel the same somehow I’m still here, just barely now Yeah I been low tide, stuck in my head Talkin’ to ghosts instead of friends If I seem distant, that’s the truth I don’t mean to—just tryin’ to get through --- **Bridge** Maybe peace ain’t loud or clean Maybe it live in the in-between If I’m hurt, that don’t mean I’m weak Just means I feel things deep --- **Verse 3** I ain’t lookin’ for savin’ grace Just a little space To sit with the weight I hold Before my heart turn cold I been strong so long it ache Smilin’ for everybody’s sake If I break down in the dark Please don’t think that’s all I am **Final Chorus** I been sinkin’, but I still breathe Still got hope, even when it leave If tomorrow come, I’ll try again That’s the promise that I defend Yeah I been low tide, but tides change Even oceans feel pain If I don’t shine the way I used to Just know—I’m still here with you --- **Outro** Yeah… Some nights feel endless But I’m still swimmin’ ---
