Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Told them I'm fine
Smile like it's glued on my face
Laugh through the shake in my hands
Hide all the cracks in the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night
I hold my breath till it hurts
Tell myself
It could be worse
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be strong but the pain is real
Dancing in the dark where I can't quite heal
Hands up high
But my heart won't feel
I'm trying to be strong but the pain
The pain is real
(so real, so real)
[Verse 2]
Messages pile on my phone
I leave them all on unread
Practice my bravest reply
Say it out loud in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night
I build those walls a bit more
Tell myself
I've been here before
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be strong but the pain is real
Dancing in the dark where I can't quite heal
Hands up high
But my heart won't feel
I'm trying to be strong but the pain
The pain is real
(so real, so real)
[Bridge]
If I let it out
Would I fall apart or fly? (oh)
If I say it now
Would it echo through the sky?
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be strong but the pain is real
Dancing in the dark where I can't quite heal
Hands up high
But my heart won't feel
I'm trying to be strong but the pain
The pain is real
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be strong but the pain is real
Screaming through a smile that I can't conceal
Hands up high
Till the night turns teal
I'm trying to be strong but the pain
The pain is real
(so real, so real)

Style
dance, Melodic EDM with airy pads in the verses, bright sidechain synths and pulsing bass. First verse minimal with filtered male vocals and soft plucks; pre-chorus climbs with rising white-noise sweeps. Chorus hits wide with saw leads, layered female harmonies on the hook, and four-on-the-floor kick. Second half adds chopped vocal chops and a final, swirling, reverb-soaked outro., edm, strong
