[Intro – minimal, steady, grounded] Em Something’s different C I can feel it settle in G Not a loud break D Just a quiet end --- [Verse 1 – awareness shift] Em I stopped reaching C For what won’t reach back G Stopped believing D I could fix what I lack Em There’s a distance C I didn’t choose before G Now it’s clearer D What I’m standing for --- [Chorus – calm, resolved] C Something shifted G I can’t undo Em I see it different D Than I used to C No more waiting G For it to change Em I’m standing in it D But I’m not the same --- [Verse 2 – letting go] Em I was bending C Till I almost broke G Holding pieces D That were never whole Em Now I’m leaving C What I used to chase G Not in anger D Just without a place --- [Chorus – slightly fuller] C Something shifted G I can’t undo Em I see it different D Than I used to C No more waiting G For it to change Em I’m standing in it D But I’m not the same --- [Verse 3 – present state] Em There’s a quiet C Where the noise would be G Not empty D Just finally free Em I don’t need it C Like I thought I did G There’s a version of me D I don’t have to live --- [Bridge – defining moment] C I kept hoping G It would turn around Em But I was the one D Who was breaking down C Now I see it G Plain and true Em Nothing changed D Except my view --- [Final Chorus – grounded, unwavering] C Something shifted G I can’t undo Em I see it different D Than I used to C No more waiting G For it to change Em I’m standing in it D But I’m not the same --- [Outro – soft, final] Em Something shifted… C And I stayed G But I didn’t stay D The same…
