[Intro]
Soft lights flicker, corners blur in blue
The room holds my silence like a truth I won’t show you
I wear a smile that hides the weight I bear alone
Breathing steady now, but I’m already gone
[Verse 1]
I’ve got a hundred freckles of doubt on my sky
Trying to outrun the doubts that keep asking why
I push through the echoes of “you’re doing fine”
While my hands are shaking coins that won’t align
[Pre-Chorus]
If strength is a mask, I’ve learned every seam
The real me’s hidden beneath a quiet scream
[Chorus]
Why me? When doors close as I reach for the light
Why me? In the quiet hours, I’m still here to fight
Why me? I’m rewired to lose, yet I survive
Why me? I’m burning out, but I keep the flame alive
[Verse 2]
The surface glitters, but the wires are tired
I’m counting miles in the margins of my own life’s pages I’ve wired
I’m setting alarms for promises I can’t keep
Hiding the ache till it bleeds into sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
If strength is a mask, I’ve learned every seam
The real me’s hidden beneath a quiet scream
[Chorus]
Why me? When doors close as I reach for the light
Why me? In the quiet hours, I’m still here to fight
Why me? I’m rewired to lose, yet I survive
Why me? I’m burning out, but I keep the flame alive
[Bridge]
Some nights I tell the truth to the dark
It listens back and asks me to start
Again with a softer voice and a braver heart
To find the dawn that’s not so far
[Chorus]
Why me? When doors close as I reach for the light
Why me? In the quiet hours, I’m still here to fight
Why me? I’m rewired to lose, yet I survive
Why me? I’m burning out, but I keep the flame alive
[Outro]
So I’ll breathe, I’ll rise, I’ll carry what remains
With every step, I’m choosing to break the chains
Why me? Because I’m here, and I’ll rewrite the fate
One more night, one more dawn, I’ll wait for the break
