[Intro – soft pads, distant hum]
[Verse 1 – calm, reflective]
I don’t chase the noise like I used to,
Don’t fill the room just to feel something.
I learned silence got its own language,
And lately it’s been speakin’ gently.
I let go of people I couldn’t save,
Not out of anger, just acceptance.
Some things don’t break — they fade,
And that’s not loss, that’s progress.
[Pre-Hook – lift]
I’m not numb, I’m just steady now,
Heart still beats, just quieter somehow.
I don’t need the highs to feel alive,
Peace feels better than the fight.
[Hook – melodic, warm]
Stillness feels like me lately,
No rush, no pressure on my chest.
I don’t need you to come save me,
I finally learned how to rest.
Stillness feels like me lately,
I found gold in movin’ slow.
I’m not lonely, I’m just grounded,
And that took more strength than you know.
[Verse 2 – intimate but confident]
I still love, just not reckless,
I still dream, just more selective.
I don’t open every door that knocks,
Some lessons taught me what to block.
I smile more without explainin’,
I sleep better without pretendin’.
Used to think healing was loud and clear,
Turns out it sounds like breathing here.
[Pre-Hook – softer]
I don’t hate who I used to be,
He was tryin’ with what he knew.
But I outgrew the need to bleed
Just to prove I felt something true.
[Hook – repeat, layered vocals]
Stillness feels like me lately,
No rush, no pressure on my chest.
I don’t need you to come save me,
I finally learned how to rest.
Stillness feels like me lately,
I found gold in movin’ slow.
I’m not lonely, I’m just grounded,
And that took more strength than you know.
[Outro – stripped, almost whispered]
Yeah…
If peace feels boring,
Maybe you just never had it before.
