(Verse 1 – fast-paced, rhythmic delivery) You beat on a three-legged horse Pushin’ your luck like it’s par for the course Trip when there’s nothin’ there Still blame the wind like it messed with your hair Talk to the mirror, lie with a grin Swear you’re losin’, afraid you might win Drag your past like a pride parade Then cry when the colors start to fade (Hook – sung, simple, earworm) You keep trippin’ over nothin’ Actin’ like it’s somethin’ But the road is clean It’s just you in the scene 🎶 Still you run, still you swear Still you fall, on nothin’ there (Verse 2 - back into flow, more edge) You write checks in your head with no pen Owe yourself peace but spend it again Preach to your doubt like a gospel truth But silence don’t sing in a soundproof booth You ghost your own joy, text your fear Say you’re fine, then disappear Stand in fire, call it warm But that ain’t shelter, that’s just the storm (Hook – sung, add harmonies) You keep trippin’ over nothin’ Actin’ like it’s somethin’ But the road is clean It’s just you in the scene Still you run, still you swear Still you fall, on nothin’ there (Bridge – soft guitar, spoken like a mantra) You want change? Then stop repeatin’ You want peace? Stop competin’ You want light? Then quit retreatin’ That shadow only walks with the ones who keep cheatin’ (Final Chorus - looser, more emotional) You keep trippin’ over nothin’ But maybe that nothin’s bluffin’ You got ground to stand You got time in hand So stop runnin’ scared There’s nothin’ there (Outro – humming, gentle pluck) Trip on nothin’… Fall on fear… Rise on purpose. You’re still here.
