[Intro – soft synth pad with distant rain]
woke up broken / but still breathing / chasing light / barely seeing
---
[Verse 1]
Cold sheets, hospital halls, walls echo my mistakes
I taste the bitter medicine of all my past mistakes
Hands reaching out through the haze, I want to pull them close
But my heart’s a hollow drum, beats out of ghost
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Told myself I’m done running from pain
But every smile feels like a stain
Trying to find a spark inside this dark
Hope’s a fragile flame, but I’m holding on
---
[Hook]
Numb won’t love me back, but I’m still here
Fighting through the shadows, drowning all my fear
Pour the light in cracks, let it wash the black
Numb won’t love me back, but maybe I can fight back
---
[Verse 2]
Empty bottles on the shelf, but I don’t reach tonight
Voices in my head slow down, giving me a little light
Counting scars, not trophies now, learning to forgive
Maybe self-love’s the first step just to live
---
[Bridge]
I fell, yeah, I fell hard and fast
But I’m here, learning how to last
One breath, one step, one broken heart
Trying to mend what’s torn apart
---
[Final Hook – building hope]
Numb won’t love me back, but I’m still here
Shaking off the silence, wiping away the tears
Pour the light in cracks, chase away the black
Numb won’t love me back, but I’m fighting back
---
[Outro – soft humming fading with rain]
Hold on...
Hold on...
