I JUST WANT TO BE FREE [INTRO – soft, whispered] I can’t sleep again tonight, another nightmare, another fight. I wake up with tears on my face, asking the darkness, “Why does it hurt this way?” Why does it hurt so damn much? Why do I feel so alone when the whole world is awake? ⸻ [VERSE 1 – slow rap] Another sleepless night, another ceiling staring back, my head is getting louder while the whole room fades to black. There’s pressure in my chest that I don’t know how to name, an endless kind of tension, like I’m trapped inside my brain. I’m tired. So tired. The kind of tired that sleep can’t fix, the kind of emptiness that nothing seems to reach. I just want this pressure to disappear, I want one quiet moment where I don’t have to fear. My mind keeps turning, running circles in the dark, old wounds, new wounds, leaving scratches on my heart. I keep asking myself what I’m supposed to be, when all I ever wanted was to finally feel free. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – emotional singing] Rain against the window, thunder in my head, I’m carrying a thousand things I never should have said. They told me, “Be strong.” But what if I don’t want to be? What if I just want to breathe? ⸻ [CHORUS – powerful, emotional] I just wanna be free, free from the weight on me. No one pulling at my soul, no one draining what is left of me. I’m so tired of pretending that I know where I belong. Everybody looks so certain, but inside, they’re just as lost. So let me breathe, let me exist, let me be somebody without having to be fixed. I don’t need another voice telling me who I should be. I just wanna be… I just wanna be free. ⸻ [VERSE 2 – faster rap] Everybody talks like they know what’s going on, like they’ve got the answers, like they’ve never been lost. They say, “Keep moving, you have to be strong,” but nobody asks how long I’ve been holding on. How do I make people happy when I can barely carry me? How do I give them all my energy when there’s nothing left inside of me? I disappear behind a smile, I say “I’m fine” and fake it for a while. But deep inside there’s an endless void, a thousand thoughts that can’t be destroyed. Panic comes like waves at night, cold hands, racing heart, no end in sight. And every morning feels the same: Wake up. Survive. Repeat again. ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – building] Cold rain. Dark sky. Thunder rolling by. Why is it so damn hard to let somebody see inside? I’ve been hurt by people I trusted with my scars. So now I hide behind the clouds and keep everyone too far. ⸻ [CHORUS – bigger] I just wanna be free, free from the weight on me. No one pulling at my soul, no one draining what is left of me. I’m so tired of pretending that I know where I belong. Everybody looks so certain, but inside, they’re just as lost. So let me breathe, let me exist, let me be somebody without having to be fixed. I don’t need another voice telling me who I should be. I just wanna be… I just wanna be free. ⸻ [BRIDGE – almost whispered] Maybe I’m not broken. Maybe I’m just tired. Maybe I don’t need to become what everyone requires. Maybe I can choose my own way. Maybe I can walk alone. Maybe freedom isn’t running away— Maybe freedom is finally calling somewhere home. ⸻ [EMOTIONAL RAP] I’ve spent so long searching for a place inside this world, watching everyone move forward while I feel completely still. And I wonder: “Why can’t I be like them?” But maybe I was never meant to fit into their picture. Maybe I’m allowed to change. Maybe I’m allowed to stop. Maybe I’m allowed to say: “This is too much.” And maybe that doesn’t make me weak. Maybe it means I’m still here. ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – emotional K-pop harmonies] I just wanna be free, free from the weight on me. I don’t wanna disappear, I just want the pain to leave. I’m still searching for a place where my heart can finally breathe. No more chains around my soul, no more pretending I’m okay. Let me breathe, let me exist, let me find myself beneath all of this. I don’t need to be perfect. I don’t need to know the way. I just wanna be free… and find myself someday. ⸻ [OUTRO – whispering, rain and distant thunder] I can’t sleep tonight… But maybe tomorrow I’ll find a little light. Maybe I don’t have to carry everything alone. Maybe I’m still searching. Maybe I’m still healing. Maybe… I’m allowed to be free.
