**(Verse 1)** It’s not just the pounding in my chest Not the shadow on the stair It’s the quiet, creeping question Hanging heavy in the air A future I can’t pen in A door that’s left ajar My mind says “that’s a danger” So I stay right where you are **(Pre-Chorus)** I try to chase the silence With a map of what might be I plan for every detour So the unknown cannot frighten me **(Chorus)** But the overthinking, the overplanning, the overdoing Just tells my bones we’re not safe yet Scanning for the danger, I become a stranger To the peace I try so hard to get I’m caught in a cycle, a self-made spiral Building walls I can’t climb through When all I really need to learn Is to be okay with “I don’t know” **(Verse 2)** I treat the quiet like a warning A stillness like a threat So I fill it up with doing So I have no time to forget That the future is a fog bank And I’m grasping for the shore But my grip just makes me sink more Than I ever did before **(Pre-Chorus)** I tell myself I’m fixing What is broken out of sight But I’m only convincing My own heart it’s not alright **(Chorus)** ‘Cause the overthinking, the overplanning, the overdoing Just tells my bones we’re not safe yet Scanning for the danger, I become a stranger To the peace I try so hard to get I’m caught in a cycle, a self-made spiral Building walls I can’t climb through When all I really need to learn Is to be okay with “I don’t know” **(Bridge)** What if healing isn’t knowing? What if calm isn’t control? What if I shift the conversation With my weary, watchful soul? From “what if it all falls apart?” To “I’ll be here when it does” From needing all the answers To a deep and quiet trust **(Final Chorus - more powerful, a key change or just fuller instrumentation)** No more overthinking, overplanning, overdoing I’m learning I am safe within I won’t search the shadows for a hidden foe To justify the state I’m in I’m stepping off the spiral, finding my arrival In the place I never knew Where I don’t need to know what happens next I just trust I’ll make it through **(Outro - soft, like a lullaby)** I don’t know what will happen… But I trust I’ll be okay I don’t know what will happen… But I trust myself today I don’t know… I don’t know… And I’m okay.
