Torn Between My Mind

[Verse 1]
Six little faces
All calling my name
Dishes in the sink
And I’m taking the blame
For every small meltdown
Every slammed door
I’m counting my heartbeats
On the bathroom floor
[Chorus]
What is a mom to do
When I’m breaking in two
Hurting every day
But I’m still there for you
Torn between my mind
And the life I walk through
Depression feels so real
What is a mom to do
[Verse 2]
Smile in the school line
Cry in the car
Scrolling through answers
On a glowing glass star
Swallowing my anger
So it won’t spill on you
I’m scared of the mirror
But I show up
I do
[Chorus]
What is a mom to do
When I’m breaking in two
Hurting every day
But I’m still there for you
Torn between my mind
And the life I walk through
Depression feels so real
What is a mom to do
[Bridge]
I need a hand
To hold my hand
Someone to say
“I understand”
I’m not a bad mom
Just tired and bruised
Trying to love you
While I learn to choose… me too (oh)
[Chorus]
What is a mom to do
When I’m breaking in two
Hurting every day
But I’m still there for you
Torn between my mind
And the life I walk through
Depression feels so real
But I’m still loving you

Intimate piano ballad with female vocals; soft, close-mic verse that feels like a late-night confession, then chorus swells with warm pads, subtle bass, and gentle drums. Light vocal doubles on the hook, a few high harmonies on the last chorus. Keep dynamics tender but insistent, like holding back tears that finally spill in the bridge.
