Lyrics

[INTRO]
I’m standing in the shadows,
Fighting this weight on my chest,
Trying to find the light,
But I’m feeling so lost in the mess.

[VERSE 1]
Every day I wake up,
With a tight grip on my mind,
Whispers of doubt surround me,
Like a storm I can’t leave behind.
I wear a smile like armor,
But it’s cracking at the seams,
The world keeps shouting louder,
While I’m drowning in my dreams.

[CHORUS]
I’m trying my best, I’m giving my all,
But somehow it feels like I’m destined to fall.
There’s always a barrier, holding me down,
I’m caught in the waves, and I’m starting to drown.
Overwhelmed, oh, I’m lost in the tides,
Drowning in expectations that I just can’t abide.

[VERSE 2]
I look in the mirror,
See a stranger staring back,
With every little failure,
I feel more off track.
Anxiety’s a monster,
With a grip that’s tight and cruel,
Teaching me that survival
Can’t happen inside this school.

[CHORUS]
I’m trying my best, I’m giving my all,
But somehow it feels like I’m destined to fall.
There’s always a barrier, holding me down,
I’m caught in the waves, and I’m starting to drown.
Overwhelmed, oh, I’m lost in the tide,
Drowning in expectations that I just can’t abide.

[BRIDGE]
But I’ll take a deep breath,
And remind myself to fight,
These clouds won’t last forever,
I’ll find my way to light.
With every little heartbeat,
I’ll rise from the pain,
I’ll learn to swim,
This storm I’ll sustain.

[CHORUS]
I’m trying my best, I’m giving my all,
But somehow it feels like I’m destined to fall.
There’s always a barrier, holding me down,
I’m caught in the waves, but I won’t let them drown.
Overwhelmed, oh, I’m breaking the tide,
Finding my strength in the fire inside.

[OUTRO]
So here’s to the battles,
The struggle and strife,
