[Verse 1 intimate, piano-led]
Some nights I lie awake
Hear my heartbeat breaking the silence
Replaying every mistake
Every word I wish I could take back
The world keeps spinning, but I’m stuck in place
Everybody moves like it’s easy
While I’m fighting my thoughts, tryna keep my faith
[Pre-Chorus gentle rise]
We’ve all felt small like we don’t belong
We’ve all held storms we carry alone
[Chorus (big soul, emotional release]
I feel every heartbeat, it’s wearing me down
The world keeps on turning, I’m lost in it now
I’ve cried in rooms that don’t even exist
Just wanting to disappear, just wanting some rest
I’m searching for peace, something to believe
I feel too much, too fast, too deep
But I’m still here, yeah I’m holding on
Still fighting the dark
Just to make it through
[Verse 2 add rhythm, more melody]
I see people laughing, but it don’t feel right
I see all the colors, but my world’s black and white
I’ve been chasing meaning in the dead of the night
Asking myself if this pain has a purpose in life
[Pre-Chorus 2 layered vocals]
We’ve all felt broken behind a smile
We’ve all walked lonely roads for miles
[Chorus (bigger, fuller band]
I feel every heartbeat, it’s wearing me down
The world keeps on turning, I’m lost in it now
I’ve cried in rooms that don’t even exist
Just wanting to disappear, just wanting some rest
I’m searching for peace, something to believe
I feel too much, too fast, too deep
But I’m still here, yeah I’m holding on
Still fighting the dark
Just to make it through
[Bridge strip it back, emotional crack]
If I let my guard fall
Even for a while
Would they see me for who I am
Or just walk on by
Would they understand
That I’m fighting things I never chose
Would they still love me
If I let it show
[Final Chorus gospel lift, harmonies]
I feel every heartbeat, it’s wearing me down
The world keeps on turning, I’m lost in it now
I’ve cried in rooms that don’t even exist
Just wanting to disappear, just wanting some rest
I’m searching for peace, something to believe
I feel too much, too fast, too deep
But I’m still here, yeah I’m holding on
Still fighting the dark
Just to make it through
[ad‑libs: “I’m still here… I’m still here…”]
Outro (soft, hopeful)
Yeah I’m still here
Still breathing
Just tryna make it through
