Verse 1
Woke up tired, even after sleeping
Sunlight knocking but my heart ain’t beating
Coffee’s cold, I’m staring at the wall
Trying to find a reason just to feel at all
Got a smile that I learned how to fake
Carry jokes like a shield I can make
Everybody says I’ll be okay
But they don’t hear the noise that won’t go away
⸻
Pre-Chorus
It’s a storm I can’t outrun
Fighting battles no one sees
Breathing deep but still feels like
The air won’t reach my lungs in me
⸻
Chorus
It’s heavy in my head tonight
Thoughts spinning in the dark, no light
I’m drowning in the quiet fight
But I’m still here, I’m still alive
Yeah anxiety’s a thief of peace
Depression whispers “don’t believe”
But somewhere in the shattered pieces
There’s a little hope that’s left in me
⸻
Verse 2
Heart racing like I ran for miles
Even sitting still, I’m paralyzed
Overthinking every word I say
Replaying conversations every day
Mirror shows a stranger’s face
Someone tired I can’t replace
But deep inside a voice remains
Saying don’t give up — you’re not your pain
⸻
Pre-Chorus
It’s a war behind my eyes
Silent screams nobody hears
But I’m learning how to stand
Even shaking through my fears
⸻
Chorus
It’s heavy in my head tonight
Thoughts spinning in the dark, no light
I’m drowning in the quiet fight
But I’m still here, I’m still alive
Yeah anxiety’s a thief of peace
Depression whispers “don’t believe”
But somewhere in the shattered pieces
There’s a little hope that’s left in me
⸻
Bridge
Maybe healing isn’t loud
Maybe strength is crying out
Maybe breathing through the pain
Is proof I’ll see the sun again
Every tear I try to hide
Is a sign I’m still inside
And broken doesn’t mean I’m done
Just means my story’s still being sung
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger)
It’s heavy in my head tonight
But I’m learning how to hold on tight
Through every shadow, every fight
I’m still here, I’m still alive
Yeah anxiety can steal my sleep
Depression pulls me underneath
But even in my darkest deep
There’s a spark nobody else can see
And maybe that’s enough for me
