[Verse 1] I tried to heal, thought I was fine But my mind keeps drifting, memories blur inside Sitting with a paper, questions look so small Yet silence takes my brain, my trembling hand won’t write at all [Chorus] They say, “Why can’t you do just this?” One exam, one chance — how could you miss? I see my brother win it on his very first try The word “just” keeps echoing, screaming in my mind Once is enough to break me down But they repeat until my heart is torn apart [Verse 2] Mom’s voice not angry, but disappointment louder still Dad stays quiet, but his eyes ask where I failed I studied nights until my eyes turned red But emptiness inside my head defeats me every time instead [Chorus] They say, “Why can’t you do just this?” One exam, one chance — how could you miss? I see my brother win it on his very first try The word “just” keeps echoing, screaming in my mind Once is enough to break me down But they repeat until my heart is torn apart [Bridge] If I’m not the one they want me to be Am I still worth anything to anybody? I just want them to know I gave my all Even if I fall, I’ll rise again, standing small [Chorus] Don’t tell me, “Why can’t you do just this?” In my world, it’s a mountain I can’t dismiss I may not win the pride they’re hoping for But I’ll hold my heart that’s still breathing, nothing more Once is enough to break me down Next time I’ll choose to love myself somehow [Verse 3] Eight years old, a bag too big for me First step into the room, the world too loud to breathe I stood, I walked, but my mind ran far ahead Teacher’s eyes, classmates’ stares — I felt wrong before I even began [Pre-Chorus] My heart beats louder than the morning bell My name floats inside the teasing yell Every gaze feels like a sharpened blade Cutting deeper each time I laugh too brave [Chorus] I’m just a lone sheep lost among the wolves No matter how I run, I can’t escape their looks The mocking words keep echoing inside my head My body, my heart, covered in scars instead I cry to the world that I can feel the pain But who will see, who will remain? If I tell my home, what will they do? Next time you’ll hear — the story continues…
