[Intro – soft piano, distant ambient hum]
[quiet, unsure]
I didn’t plan for this…
It just happened anyway.
⸻
[Verse 1 – intimate, reflective]
[hesitant]
We met when everything felt fragile,
Like one wrong move could ruin it all.
We laughed like the future didn’t exist,
Like I wasn’t already afraid to fall.
[soft]
Your hand brushed mine in the dark,
And my heart forgot how to behave.
I memorized the sound of your name,
Then swallowed it on the way home.
⸻
[Verse 2 – secrecy and fear]
[careful]
I started lying about where I was,
Just to keep us breathing a little longer.
I started deleting messages,
Like love was something dangerous.
[conflicted]
I practiced answers in my head,
Afraid they’d ask the wrong question.
Every glance felt loaded with meaning,
Like they already knew my confession.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – anxious build]
[restrained, stressed]
Everyone’s watching, even in silence,
Every pause feels like a test.
I’m trying to grow in crowded rooms
That don’t leave space for who I am.
⸻
[Chorus – emotional, vulnerable]
[careful, emotional]
I love you, but I’m scared to say it loud,
Like the word itself might break me.
I love you, but the world feels heavy now,
Like it’s waiting to correct me.
[aching]
I’m not wrong, I’m just young,
Trying to stand without a guide.
Caught between who I am
And who they’re asking me to hide.
⸻
[Verse 3 – family and friends]
[tense]
My family asks when I’ll “grow out of it,”
Like this is something small.
My friends joke just to keep it light,
But they don’t see me fall.
[honest]
They say love should be easy,
That it shouldn’t hurt like this.
But they’ve never loved in shadows,
Or learned how to exist like this.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – fear rising]
[quiet panic]
What if loving you costs everything?
What if losing you costs more?
Why does choosing something real
Feel like starting a war?
⸻
[Bridge – realization]
[gentle]
I’m not confused about you.
I’m confused about the world.
About why something this real
Has to hurt just to be heard.
⸻
[Final Chorus – steadier, still scared]
[grounded]
I don’t know how to fight them all,
I barely know myself yet.
But I know this isn’t pretend,
And I know this isn’t regret.
[controlled resolve]
If this is young, let it be honest,
If this is hard, let it be mine.
I’m scared, I’m stressed, I’m learning slowly,
And that has to count this time.
⸻
[Outro – soft fade]
[quiet]
I’m still here…
Even if I don’t know how.
(music fades gently)
