Overwhelmed

Verse 1

Mirror talks louder than the world outside

Asks me who I am when I stop trying to survive

I lace up my courage like worn-out shoes

Got dreams in my pockets, but the weight’s breaking through

Bills on the table, expectations in my head

Every “be strong” sounds like something left unsaid

I wanna breathe without counting every sigh

Wanna feel more than just getting by

Pre-Chorus

I’m tired of shrinking, tired of the fear

But there’s a voice in my chest saying, “You’re still here”

Chorus

I’m just a girl learning how to be free

Trying to love the parts they don’t always see

I’m overwhelmed, yeah, I’m falling apart

But I’m still lighting fires in the dark

I wanna dance in my own skin again

Not apologize for where I’ve been

Even when life feels heavy on me

I’m just a girl motivating me

Verse 2

I smile in public, break down alone

Carrying the world like it’s mine to own

They say “calm down,” like it’s that easy

But my mind runs wild and my heart gets dizzy

I scroll past lives that look so clear

While I’m drowning in my doubts right here

But deep in the chaos, under the noise

There’s a spark that still believes in my voice

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need fixing, I need space

To grow at my own imperfect pace

Chorus

I’m just a girl learning how to be free

Trying to love the parts they don’t always see

I’m overwhelmed, yeah, I’m losing control

But I still feel magic in my soul

I wanna stand without needing proof

Stop shrinking myself to fit their truth

Even when life feels heavy on me

I’m just a girl motivating me

Bridge

Maybe freedom isn’t running away

Maybe it’s staying and choosing me anyway

Letting myself cry, letting myself try

Letting go of the fear of not being “right”

I don’t have to have it all figured out

I can be brave and full of doubt

Final Chorus

I’m just a girl, still becoming whole

Learning that rest is a form of control

I’m overwhelmed, but I’m not done yet

I’m more than the stress, more than the debt

I’ll wear my truth like a melody

Sing it loud till it feels like me

Even when life gets heavy on me

I’m just a girl… setting herself free
