Verse 1:
I woke up today, feeling small as a raindrop,
Hiding in shadows, where the sadness won't stop.
In a crowded room, but I feel so alone,
Trying to find a place that feels like home.
Chorus:
Beneath the surface, it’s hard to breathe,
A war in my mind, who can I believe?
I wear a smile, but it’s just a disguise,
Fighting these demons, behind my eyes.
Verse 2:
Scrolling through pictures, everyone looks fine,
But it’s just a snapshot, not the real life.
Nights filled with thoughts that I can’t escape,
Caught in the echoes of a heart that aches.
Chorus:
Beneath the surface, it’s hard to breathe,
A war in my mind, who can I believe?
I wear a smile, but it’s just a disguise,
Fighting these demons, behind my eyes.
Bridge:
Could anyone see the cracks in my skin?
The battles I fight that I never win.
Picking up pieces, when will I understand?
That I’m not alone, just take my hand.
Chorus:
Beneath the surface, it’s hard to breathe,
A war in my mind, who can I believe?
I wear a smile, but it’s just a disguise,
Fighting these demons, behind my eyes.
Outro:
So if you’re out there, feeling so afraid,
Just know you’re not broken, you’ll find a way.
Beneath the surface, we’ll learn to thrive,
Together we can make it, we’ll survive.
