(Verse 1) I’m lost in shadows, feeling small, Each word dismissed, I hear the call. Comparisons sting, I wear the weight, Proud of my dreams, but it’s too late. (Pre-Chorus) They say I talk too much, But silence was my crutch. Bottled feelings, I pretend, Every night, I just descend. (Chorus) Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to run, Start a new life under a different sun. They say it made me stronger, but I was a child, Needed protection, not to be reviled. (Verse 2) Every “You’re fine,” cuts deeper still, Mental drain, no one sees the chill. Kept to myself, learned to hide, Silent comfort, tears I can’t abide. (Pre-Chorus) Voices echo in my mind, Wish for peace I cannot find. I just wanted to be free, But they can’t see the real me. (Chorus) Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to run, Start a new life under a different sun. They say it made me stronger, but I was a child, Needed protection, not to be reviled. (Outro) So I’ll keep dreaming, whispering my pain, Hoping one day I’ll break these chains. In the quiet, I’ll find my voice, In this silence, I’ll make my choice.
