[Instrumental] [acoustic guitar 1 enters with steady rhythmic strumming in G major — restrained, almost like a heartbeat] [acoustic guitar 2 slowly joins with sparse, reflective fingerpicked arpeggios] [Intro] I don’t talk about it much out loud But it sits in the room with me anyway Heavy in the corners of the day Even when I try to move past it [Section A] Some mornings feel like starting late Even when the clock says I’m on time Like I’ve been running on the same tired thoughts Trying to outrun what’s inside my mind I keep showing up anyway Even when it doesn’t feel like enough There’s a weight you can’t always name But you learn to carry it rough [guitar 2 adds soft melodic accents between lines] [Section B] [dynamic increases — strumming gets tighter, more insistent] I’ve learned that nothing fixes itself Just because you want it to So I keep putting one foot forward Even when I don’t want to And some days that’s all it is Not strength, not clarity, not peace Just not letting the whole thing collapse Just choosing not to leave [guitar 2 rises into higher, searching melodic lines] [Bridge] There’s no clean ending to this No sudden change in the sky Just moments where you keep going Even when you don’t know why And I stop expecting answers That were never promised to me I just stay in the fight I’m in Quietly [Outro] [guitar 2 fades out slowly] [guitar 1 returns to simpler strumming] I don’t know what comes after this But I’m still here in the middle of it And maybe that’s what it takes Just not quitting it [sustained G major chord — soft downward final strum]
