Lyrics

Sometimes I wake up and I already feel behind

Like the day started runnin' and it left me in my mind

Bills on my phone, doubt in my spine

Smile in public, but I don't feel fine

Everybody want progress, nobody want pain

They say "trust the process," I've just been drained

I've been drained

I've been drained

I keep my head down when they mention my name

'Cause they only speak loud when it comes with some shame

I'm tired of explaining the war in my brain

Tired of being strong just to look okay

Sometimes I disappear just to feel something real

Let my phone go quiet, let the world stand still

They don't know how heavy "I'm good" really feels

They don't know how long I've been fakin' the heal

I don't wanna die, I just don't wanna be here

Big difference, but nobody hears

I still show love, but I move outta fear

I still get attached, then I vanish for years

I vanish from people that cared the most

'Cause I hate the version of me they know

I hate how I freeze when I get too close

Love feel like a threat when you ghost yourself

Love feel like a threat when you ghost yourself

Sometimes I miss who I used to be

Before I learned pain was a currency

Now every smile feel like a courtesy

And every promise feels temporary

I don't trust time, it keeps takin' my youth

Friends turn strangers and claim it's the truth

I talk to God but I lie in the booth

So maybe that's why I'm stuck in the loop

Stuck in the loop

Stuck in the loop

Stuck in the loop

I've done dirt I don't post about

I've had nights I don't talk about

I've had love that I walked away from

Just 'cause I didn't feel worth the route

Every win got a shadow side

Every high got a parasite

Every dream got a price to pay

And I've been broke my entire life

Not just money — energy, too

I give it away and forget what to do

Now I'm runnin' on fumes and regret and the truth

That I hustle my pain just to make it look cool

They say I'm hard to read, that's survival

You'd shut up too if they twisted your title

I learned early love comes with fine print

So now I don't sign it, I spiral

Sometimes I don't answer on purpose

Not 'cause I'm busy, I'm nervous

Every conversation feel like a service

And I've been the product, not the person

I watch my reflection avoid my eyes

Like it knows what I did in disguise

I know what I did to survive

Still hate what it cost me inside

I don't need pity, I need peace

I don't need crowds, I need sleep

I don't need "next up," I need air

I don't need fame, I need fair

I don't need love that's loud for the net

I need quiet loyalty under the stress

I need one person who won't get bored

When my voice sound like this instead

Sometimes I think I'm already gone

Just moving a body that carry on

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong

In the life I built just to prove 'em wrong

Sometimes I feel like success is a cage

Made of applause and unpaid shame

Everybody clap when you self-destruct

As long as you do it on a stage

Sometimes I don't feel real anymore

Just a mood in a digital form

Just a number, a name, a role to perform

With a broken heart I never inform

And I'm not suicidal, I'm just exhausted

From fighting thoughts I never started

From becoming someone I can't turn off

From carrying weight I was never allotted

Sometimes I wonder who I'd be

If I healed before the world saw me

If I learned to stay instead of flee

If I learned I was allowed to need

But I grew up fast in a slow decay

Learned how to smile in the wrongest way

Now every good thing feel like it's late

And every bad thing feel like it's fate

Sometimes I just sit in the dark and admit

That I don't know if I'm built for this

But I wake up anyway and exist

And that's the only flex I got left to give
