[Intro] [murmured] You ever get tired of carrying everything alone? [Saxophone answers softly] [Verse 1] I been moving slower lately Trying not to break apart Smiling through the conversations Hiding pressure in my heart [Trumpet punctuates softly] Everybody say stay strong Like it’s simple overnight But nobody really notices How hard it is to feel alright [Saxophone playful response] [Pre-Chorus] Mm… Maybe I just needed space To finally hear myself think [Chorus] I just wanna feel alright again Sleep through the night again Laugh without forcing it Breathe without noticing [Saxophone melody answers Lumora] I just wanna feel like me Not somebody barely holding Maybe peace ain’t loud at all Maybe peace is soft and slow moving [Verse 2] Some days I still feel hopeful Some days I disappear Some days I talk too much Just to cover up the fear [Trumpet playful phrase] But somewhere underneath it There’s a softer side of me Still trying to survive Without apologizing constantly [Bridge] [Saxophone Solo] Warm conversational alto sax improvisation with playful phrasing and emotional restraint [Trumpet Solo] Muted trumpet solo with elegant jazz phrasing, emotionally uplifting and intimate [Final Chorus] I just wanna feel alright again Not fight myself again Maybe healing starts the moment You stop hiding everything [Outro] [murmured laugh] Maybe tonight gets easier…
