Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 (calm, controlled) I don’t really open up like this… so if I stumble over my words, that’s why I spent a long time learnin’ how to look fine while everything in me wasn’t I’ve made decisions I can’t defend I’ve been a man I wouldn’t trust standin’ in front of me and I know that sounds heavy… but it’s the truth I hurt people I ran when I should’ve stayed I lied when it was easier and I acted like none of it would catch up but it did ⸻ Chorus (still restrained, almost spoken melody) If I tell you everything… you might not stay you might not look at me the same way but I’ve carried it long enough and I can’t fake it anymore I’m not proud of where I’ve been but I’m still here tryin’ to change ⸻ Verse 2 (pressure building) There were nights I sat in silence askin’ God if He forgot me not because I deserved answers but because I didn’t know how to fix what I was and I met someone who didn’t run even when she probably should’ve she didn’t heal me… she just didn’t leave and that did somethin’ to me I didn’t expect it made me think maybe I wasn’t completely gone ⸻ Breakdown (Dax-style spoken, raw, no rhythm at first) I don’t say this for sympathy I’m not tryin’ to be the victim I’m just sayin’… there’s a version of me I buried that still shows up sometimes and I hate him I hate what he did I hate who he was but I can’t pretend he wasn’t real so I live with him every day ⸻ Chorus (weaker voice, more emotional) If I tell you everything… I don’t know what stays or what breaks but I can’t keep hidin’ behind a smile like I’ve always been okay I’m not proud of where I’ve been but I’m still here tryin’ to change ⸻ Final Breakdown (almost whisper → build) I used to think grace was for other people the good ones not guys like me but I was wrong because somehow… I’m still breathin’ and I don’t know why but I think that might mean I still got time ⸻ Outro (quiet, almost nothing) So if you knew everything… and you’re still here listenin’… maybe that’s the point
