(Verse 1) I’ve gotten good at saying “I’m okay” With tears drying on my face Laughing in conversations While my mind’s in a different place And nobody notices it Not really anyway They hear the words I’m saying But not the weight behind my face I hate how nights get honest When there’s nothing left to drown it out Cause that’s when every feeling Starts screaming over all my doubts (Pre-Chorus) And maybe I’m too much Or maybe not enough I can’t tell anymore (Chorus) So I stare at unread messages Typing things I’ll never send Wanting someone to reach inside my head And understand it Cause I’m tired of carrying Thoughts too heavy to explain And every time I almost open up I get scared and walk away I don’t know how to be honest Without feeling dramatic I just know some nights My heart feels shattered in static (Verse 2) I overthink every little change Every pause, every look away Convincing myself people are leaving Even when they wanna stay And I know that sounds unhealthy But it’s real, so what do I do? When my brain turns tiny moments Into proof I’ll lose you Sometimes I miss old versions of myself The girl who didn’t question everything Before growing up became this weird ache Nobody warned me about (Pre-Chorus) I keep praying, “God, please help” Cause I’m exhausted from myself (Chorus) So I stare at unread messages Typing things I’ll never send Wanting someone to reach inside my head And understand it Cause I’m tired of carrying Thoughts too heavy to explain And every time I almost open up I get scared and walk away I don’t know how to be honest Without feeling dramatic I just know some nights My heart feels shattered in static (Bridge) Maybe healing isn’t loud Maybe it’s surviving quietly Maybe God stays closest On the nights nobody checks on me Maybe being human means Feeling everything too deeply And maybe one day That won’t destroy me (Final Chorus) So here’s the truth I never say I’m not okay every day But I’m still trying Even when my mind keeps fighting me And maybe that’s enough for now To keep breathing through the doubt Cause somewhere underneath this pain I still believe there’s purpose for me somehow
