Verse 1 Yeah Alarm go off, but I been awake all night Thoughts run circles, never move in a straight line Sun comes up, but it don’t feel bright Another day, another round in the same fight Mirror says “hold it together, be strong” But the face looking back feel already gone Bills on the counter, hope feeling thin Smile for the world, keep the chaos in People walk past like they know where they go I’m stuck in my head moving slow-mo Dreams feel close, then they drift away Like smoke in the air I can’t make stay Pre-Chorus We say “I’m fine,” yeah, every day we lie Laugh on the outside, breaking inside Chorus Everybody got pain they don’t show Everybody got scars they don’t show Running from the dark in their soul Trying not to lose control If you feel like the weight’s too much now And the noise in your head too loud Just know when you’re feeling alone Half the world feels the same at home Verse 2 Scroll through the feed, see perfect lives Perfect smiles, perfect nights Meanwhile I’m here fighting my brain Trying real hard just to stay sane Friends say “you good?” I say “yeah, I’m cool” Truth is I’m tired of playing that fool Heart full of words that I never say Fear they might push everybody away Clock keeps ticking, pressure don’t stop World moves fast, I’m stuck on the block Try to stand tall but my knees feel weak Got a whole lotta thoughts I don’t dare speak Pre-Chorus We say “I’m fine,” yeah, every day we lie Laugh on the outside, breaking inside Chorus Everybody got pain they don’t show Everybody got scars they don’t show Running from the dark in their soul Trying not to lose control If you feel like the weight’s too much now And the noise in your head too loud Just know when you’re feeling alone Half the world feels the same at home Bridge Late nights, no sleep, just me and regret All the words I said and the ones I ain’t said yet Tears fall down but I wipe ’em quick World don’t pause for a heart that’s sick Still I breathe, yeah, still I try Even when I don’t know why Maybe tomorrow the pain feels less Maybe this mess just part of the test Final Chorus Everybody got pain they don’t show Everybody fighting battles unknown If you’re barely holding on right now You don’t gotta face it alone somehow When the dark feels closer than hope And you’re at the end of your rope Hear this beat, hear these words I wrote You’re not the only one staying afloat.
