[Intro]
Just me in the quiet glow.
[Verse]
I'm eighteen, in a crowd that shines too bright,
I smile, I breathe, pretend I'm feeling alright.
But underneath, a quiet shadow weighs on me,
I whisper to my own heart, 'it's okay not to be free.'
[Chorus]
Sometimes I'm surrounded by perfect light,
Yet I carry emptiness I can't shake tonight.
I tell myself, 'stay, just breathe, be kind.'
[Verse 2]
Conversations spark like fireworks in the air,
I laugh along, but my thoughts still linger there.
I pace the room with a quiet, stubborn ache,
Saying, 'this ache is mine, I'm learning to break it.'
[Chorus]
Sometimes I'm wrapped in perfect light,
But the hollow inside keeps asking why.
I tell myself, 'stay, just breathe, be kind.'
[Bridge]
Not every moment fits, yet I sit with it anyway.
[Chorus]
Sometimes I'm surrounded by perfect light,
Yet I carry emptiness I can't shake tonight.
I tell myself, 'stay, just breathe, be kind.'
[Outro]
Quiet inside the glow, I stay and listen.
