(Verse 1 (piano alone, voice cracked)
I used to chase the high—lights, crowds, applause
Thought if I screamed loud enough, the pain would pause
But every trophy’s hollow—every cheer’s a lie
I look in the mirror, and the stranger says “hi”
I built a throne out of bones—called it success
Now I’m king of nothing—just a mess in a dress
(Pre-Chorus (drums creep in)
…so I quit
I quit the stage, the stage quit me
And for once—I breathed
(Chorus (strings explode, voice soars)
This is me—broken, bleeding, still standing tall
No crown, no crowd—just the sound of my fall
I don’t need your mercy, I don’t need your gold
I’m alive—I’m alive—and that’s enough, I’m told
This is me… this is me…
Yeah—I’m finally free
(Verse 2 (full band, urgent)
I burned every bridge—said “goodbye” to the past
Left the city screaming—left the ghosts in the glass
Now I’m walking barefoot on asphalt that’s hot
And the sky’s too wide—like it’s daring me not
To believe I’m worth it, to believe I’m real
But fuck it—I’m here—and I’m starting to feel
(Bridge (drop to whisper, then build like a storm)
…so tell me
If you’re listenin—
This isn’t for you
It’s for me
And it’s loud…
(Chorus (x2, choir layers, drums thunder)
This is me—broken, bleeding, still standing tall
No crown, no crowd—just the sound of my fall
I don’t need your mercy, I don’t need your gold
I’m alive—I’m alive—and that’s enough, I’m told
This is me… this is me…
(Final Chorus (slower, raw, almost spoken)
This is me—scars and all, no filter, no shame
No more hiding—I’m done with the game
If the world forgets me—let it
I’m still here—still breathing—still lit
(Outro (piano fades, one last vocal crack)
Yeah…
This is me…
This is me…
Scars and all…
No filter..no shame..
No more hiding…
Still breathing..
