I woke up today,
Sunlight through the blinds,
But my heart feels heavy,
Like I’m lost in time.
Shower’s running,
Can’t step inside,
Just like brushing my teeth,
I’m fighting to survive.
Texting my best friend,
But the words don’t flow,
All those late-night talks,
Now they feel so low.
I’m just a ghost,
In this room of pain,
Do they even miss me,
Or am I just a name?
I remember our nights,
Dancing in the rain,
Now it’s hard to find,
Joy in all this pain.
I’m scared of being lost,
Or forgotten in the end,
Do I mean something,
Or am I just pretend?
Fading echoes of a laugh I used to know,
A smile's a stranger, just a shadow on my soul.
I reach for connection, but I feel so far away,
Am I just a memory that will fade to gray?
Will I find my way back,
To the light I used to feel?
Or am I just a fading echo,
In a world that doesn’t heal?
I’m screaming out for help,
But my voice is lost in air,
Will someone hear my heart,
And help me feel I’m there?

I woke up today,
Sunlight through the blinds,
But my heart feels heavy,
Like I’m lost in time.
Shower’s running,
Can’t step inside,
Just like brushing my teeth,
I’m fighting to survive.
Texting my best friend,
But the words don’t flow,
All those late-night talks,
Now they feel so low.
I’m just a ghost,
In this room of pain,
Do they even miss me,
Or am I just a name?
I remember our nights,
Dancing in the rain,
Now it’s hard to find,
Joy in all this pain.
I’m scared of being lost,
Or forgotten in the end,
Do I mean something,
Or am I just pretend?
Fading echoes of a laugh I used to know,
A smile's a stranger, just a shadow on my soul.
I reach for connection, but I feel so far away,
Am I just a memory that will fade to gray?
Will I find my way back,
To the light I used to feel?
Or am I just a fading echo,
In a world that doesn’t heal?
I’m screaming out for help,
But my voice is lost in air,
Will someone hear my heart,
And help me feel I’m there?
