[Intro — soft static, distant rain, heartbeat bass] (Whisper) Dear me… I know you tired… But don’t give up yet. ⸻ [Verse 1] You been carrying weight nobody ever seen Smiling for the camera while your soul couldn’t breathe Late nights crying with your phone in your hand Wondering why nobody ever understands You gave your love till it started hurting you Stayed too long in things you already outgrew Kept forgiving people that loved you halfway Then blamed yourself every time they walked away And I know… You tired of being the strong one Tired of surviving instead of living Tired of healing from things You never deserved in the beginning ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] But look at you still standing Heart bruised but still dancing Still creating… Still dreaming… Still finding reasons to believe… ⸻ [Chorus] Dear me… Please don’t let the darkness win tonight I know your mind gets loud when you’re alone at night But you survived every storm that tried to break you Now it’s finally time to save you Dear me… You don’t gotta carry pain forever You can let go and still hold yourself together Every scar became proof of what you’ve been through And honestly… I’m proud of you ⸻ [Verse 2] Social media made healing feel performative Everybody watching pain like entertainment Comparing your heart to highlight reels While secretly fighting battles nobody feels And people love broken girls till they heal Then get uncomfortable when the growth gets real But baby look how far you came from that version The little girl inside you finally deserves this Now you’re learning peace don’t gotta feel lonely And self-love ain’t selfish when nobody chose me You finally putting yourself back together And this version of you? She stronger than ever ⸻ [Bridge — stripped down] So if nobody says it today… I’m proud of you
