Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – piano, heel dichtbij] You move too fast That’s what they said Like there was something wrong With how my mind gets ahead I tried to slow my heartbeat Tried to shrink my dreams Tried to fit inside a world That never fit me ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I laughed it off Like I always do Turned every doubt Into something cool But every joke was just a shield So no one saw what I could feel ⸻ [Chorus – open, breekbaar] I was scared that if I stopped There’d be nothing left of me Like the noise inside my chest Was the only thing that made me breathe So I kept running through the silence Kept proving I belong But what if I was strong All along? ⸻ [Verse 2 – meer intens] First time love hit me hard Didn’t know how to stay I held it like a lifeline Then I pushed it away Said words I didn’t mean From a heart that feared the fall I thought control meant safety Didn’t know it meant a wall ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] I thought if I could win enough I’d finally feel secure Didn’t know that being loved Was never something to earn ⸻ [Chorus – groter, emotioneel] I was scared that if I stopped There’d be nothing left of me Like the noise inside my chest Was the only thing that made me breathe So I kept running through the silence Kept proving I belong But what if I was strong All along? ⸻ [Bridge – bijna gesproken] Now there’s a little voice at night Calling out my name And I see myself inside his eyes Before the doubt, before the shame And if he ever feels too much Like the world is moving wrong I’ll tell him what I’m learning now You were never moving wrong You were never too much You were just becoming strong ⸻ [Final Chorus – stem breekt] You don’t have to run forever You don’t have to win it all You don’t have to prove your value Just because you learned to fall You were never behind Never broken, never off You were building all that fire You were strong All along
