Текст пісні
I wake up tired of myself again
Wearing a mask just to play pretend
Every mirror shows the same old face –
Lost in a crowd, taking up space
I try to speak but I second-guess
Every word, every breath – a mess
They tell me "change"
They tell me "grow"
But they don't know
What they don't know
I carry shame like it's all I own
Surrounded by people, but I'm still alone
I've been running in circles, stuck in my head
Faking a life while feeling half-dead
No matter what I do, it's never enough
Tired of pretending that I'm strong, that I'm tough
Just want a place where I can be –
Without the weight that's crushing me
Every success feels like a fluke
Like I stole it, like I'm the proof
That I don't belong, that I'm just fake
One small slip is all it takes
I see them smile, climbing high
While I rehearse how to say goodbye
I try to change, but the voice inside
Keeps dragging me back every single time
They say it's "normal," say I'll be fine
But they've never lived inside my mind
I've been running in circles, stuck in my head
Faking a life while feeling half-dead
No matter what I do, it's never enough
Tired of pretending that I'm strong, that I'm tough
Just want a place where I can be –
Without the weight that's crushing me
I'm sick of the lies I feed myself
Of chasing dreams put on a shelf
Of smiling wide when I feel numb
Of playing brave when I come undone
I've been running in circles, stuck in my head
Faking a life while feeling half-dead
No matter what I do, it's never enough
Tired of pretending that I'm strong, that I'm tough
Just want a place where I can be –
Somewhere real
Somewhere free
Somewhere I belong
Maybe in me
