[Intro โ soft, spoken, almost like a journal]
Yeahโฆ
Itโs crazy how your mind can be your worst place to live inโฆ
And nobody even knowsโฆ
โธป
[Verse 1 โ slow, emotional flow]
I been fightinโ thoughts, feel like they donโt ever rest
Smile on my face but thereโs pressure in my chest
Everybody think Iโm good, I just play it off clean
But they donโt hear the war goinโ on behind the scenes
Late nights, wide awake, overthinkinโ every move
Tryna figure out my worth, tryna find a better view
Lookinโ in the mirror like โwho am I today?โ
Same body, same face, but my mind ainโt the same
โธป
[Pre-Hook โ melodic shift]
And I tryโฆ yeah I try to escape it
But my thoughts, they replay and replace me
Feelinโ lost, like Iโm stuck in the basement
No light, Iโm just hopinโ I make it
โธป
[Hook โ emotional, simple, repeatable]
Iโm still hereโฆ even when it gets hard
Even when I feel lost in the dark
I been breakinโ, but Iโm playinโ my part
Iโm still hereโฆ Iโm still here
โธป
[Verse 2 โ deeper/confessional]
Conversations with myself get intense
Half of me is givinโ up, half is jumpinโ the fence
Tryna hold it all together, but Iโm losinโ my grip
Every time I start to heal, I be back in the pit
And itโs wild how nobody sees pain
When you hide it behind a smile every day
I been drowninโ in my head, no sound
Screaminโ out loud but it donโt come out
โธป
[Bridge โ spoken, vulnerable pause]
If I told you everythingโฆ
Would you look at me different?
Or would you finally understandโฆ
why I am the way I am?
โธป
[Hook โ fuller, layered vocals]
Iโm still hereโฆ even when it gets hard
Even when I feel lost in the dark
I been breakinโ, but Iโm playinโ my part
Iโm still hereโฆ Iโm still here
โธป
[Outro โ quiet, reflective]
Yeahโฆ
Still fightinโโฆ
Still breathinโโฆ
Thatโs gotta mean somethinโ.
