Intro

((🎧 Soft piano chords + warm pad swell, 3–5 sec))

Verse 1

(🎤 Quiet, fragile vocal + gentle piano)
I stand in corners just to stay unseen
I speak too softly, then I say too much
I trip on feelings that I never mean
And lose the moment every time we touch

Pre-Chorus

(🌫 Subtle strings rising, heartbeat-like kick)
I’m always stuck inside my head
Too scared to say the words instead
You look at me and I retreat
I swear I’m harmless
Just incomplete

Chorus

(🌟 Wide pads, emotional lift, stacked vocals)
I feel like a creep
But I’m just broken underneath
I never meant to be this person
You avoid across the street
I’m trying to speak
But every word comes out too weak
I’m not a monster, I’m just lonely
I don’t know how to be

Verse 2

(🎶 Gentle acoustic guitar added, soft percussion)
I watch your laughter from a world away
Afraid I’ll ruin it if I come near
So I pretend I didn’t see your face
And hide behind a smile that’s insincere

Pre-Chorus

(✨ Strings swell wider, emotional tension)
I overthink until I break
Regretting every move I make
You shine so bright, I fall apart
A trembling shadow
With a heavy heart

Chorus

(🔥 Bigger lift, harmonies, warm bass)
I feel like a creep
But I’m just broken underneath
I never meant to be this person
You avoid across the street
I’m trying to speak
But every word comes out too weak
I’m not a monster, I’m just lonely
I don’t know how to be

Bridge

(🌙 Stripped: soft piano + raw falsetto)
If you could see the truth in me
You’d know I’m only trying
I never wanted you to feel
Like I was quietly prying
I’m just a soul that’s out of place
Afraid of letting someone close
Hiding feelings I can’t show
It’s me I fear the most

Final Chorus

(🌟 Full anthem lift, big harmonies, drums open up)
I feel like a creep
But I’m just broken underneath
I never meant to be this person
You avoid across the street
I’m learning to speak
Even when the voice is weak
I’m not a monster, just a human
Trying hard to breathe
I don’t know how to be

Outro

((🎹 Soft piano fades, light pad hum, one final vocal breath))
