V4.5

[Verse 1] I said I was fine, so I believed it Built a life that never asked me if I meant it Kept the mask ‘cause it looked like peace Played along, forgot how to breathe They handed me a version of me Said “you’re lucky,” said “you’re free” But freedom wrapped in comfort’s still a cage It took a scar to flip the page [Chorus] Now I’m overboard again Pulled from the part I was pretending in Guess I needed pain to feel the spin To finally see I’d never been No amnesia, no mistake Just woke up in a life I didn’t make It hurt like hell but I won’t defend I had to break to start again [Verse 2] They all liked the quiet me The one who smiled, who didn’t need The truth, the space, the right to ask I lived in rewind — now I’ve crashed Scrubbing floors I didn’t dirty Fixing lives that didn’t hurt me But still, I called it home somehow Till the lights blew out [Chorus] Yeah, I’m overboard again Stripped of story, dropped the spin Didn’t fall — I just gave in To the part of me that’s always been No more roles, no second take This is me — cracked but awake Let ‘em keep their perfect end I’d rather float than fake again [Bridge – spoken melody] Maybe I was always missing And the crash just showed the gap Now I’m real in ways that scare them But I’m never going back [Final Chorus – stripped down] I’m overboard again And yeah, I’m not who they expect But I finally see the water And I’m not drowning yet No applause, no final spin Just me Overboard again
