[Verse 1] Wanna change, but I stay the same Same old walls, same old pain Words don’t land, they just pass me by And I keep asking myself why What’s holding me back? Am I scared to move? Am I building little excuses Just so I don’t have to choose? [Pre-Chorus] Do I really not want this? No, I know that’s not the truth ’Cause every time I look inside I still see something breaking through [Chorus] Every second that I waste Feels like I’m letting myself down Say whatever you wanna say I’m done hiding underground Maybe I get scared sometimes Maybe my heart ain’t bulletproof I don’t need to fake being strong I just need to tell the truth No more excuses No more disguise No more looking away from my own eyes [Verse 2] And if you laugh at what we love The songs, the dreams, the ones beside us I’m still smiling, I won’t throw hate back But don’t mistake that for silence You know those words can leave a mark You know they cut deeper than you think So if you know it’s hurting people Why keep pushing them to the brink? [Bridge / Rap] Smile on my face Don’t get it confused Quiet ain’t weakness I’m just choosing my truth I don’t need your permission Don’t need your approval You don’t get to decide What matters to us These hands built memories These voices built home So I won’t stand here watching While you tear it apart [Final Chorus] Every second that I waste Feels like I’m letting myself down Say whatever you wanna say I’m still standing here right now Maybe I’m scared sometimes Maybe I’m still figuring it out But no more excuses now No more drowning in my doubt No more excuses No more disguise I’m done looking away from my own eyes
