V5.5

[Verse 1] (Acoustic guitar only) When I was younger, the world looked beautiful. Every mistake was just another story. I ran wherever my heart wanted, never asking where the road would end. Back then... happiness felt so easy. [Pre-Chorus] Then the years started changing me. Little by little, I learned... there were things adults never talked about. [Chorus] Dad... You told me the world was beautiful. You wanted me to have a better life. Now I'm standing inside a maze so wide... I have so many questions. Why aren't you here to answer them? [Verse 2] The roads became longer. The people became colder. Some days I felt like I didn't belong anywhere. I tried pretending their words didn't hurt. But darkness... has a quiet way of learning your name. [Pre-Chorus] Is loneliness just another season everyone survives? Or am I still searching for an answer that never existed? [Chorus] Mom... Is the world really like this? Why does it look nothing like the one I saw as a child? If this darkness has always belonged here... Can I... be little just one more time? [Instrumental Interlude] (Acoustic guitar swells, adding strings dynamically) [Bridge] Mom... Would you be angry... if I told you... I'm tired? ... Mom... I don't think... I can do this anymore. [Signal: Full Band Drop, Explosive, Emotional Breakdown] [Final Chorus] Maybe... all I can do is keep walking. Even when it hurts. Even when it feels like I'm disappearing. Maybe... this is what growing up has always meant. [Final Chorus 2] Some days I hate this world. But the world keeps turning anyway. Some days I'm screaming inside... while smiling for everyone else. Nothing changed. Except... I'm still breathing. I'm still here. [Outro] [Drop all instruments except soft acoustic guitar] Dad... Mom... I'm so tired. ... But maybe... this... is growing up. [Fade out to absolute silence] [End]
