[Intro – spoken, almost no beat]
I remember when my head was quiet…
Not empty…
Just calm
(soft piano note drops)
⸻
[Verse 1 – slow, spaced delivery]
Used to wake up… and just wake up
No weight on my chest… no rush in my lungs
Didn’t sit there… scanning my thoughts
Like “why do I feel this?” or “what have I done?”
I’d step outside… and just be outside
No noise in my head… no need to hide
No running loops… no second guess
No fighting myself just to feel alright
Days felt longer… nights felt easy
Didn’t need distraction just to feel like me
Didn’t check my heart like something’s wrong
Didn’t sit there stuck in “what’s going on?”
I was living… without thinking
Now I’m thinking… about living
(backing vocal echo: “about living…”)
⸻
[Hook – soft but heavy]
Back when silence didn’t scream
Back when I could just be me
No weight sitting underneath
No fear I couldn’t see
I didn’t know what I would lose
Thought this was just how life moves
Now I look back differently…
At who I used to be
⸻
[Verse 2 – slightly more intensity]
There wasn’t fear in every moment
Didn’t feel like something’s broken
Didn’t question every feeling
Like my mind needed decoding
Didn’t sit in quiet rooms
Feeling like I’m losing time
Didn’t need to fight my head
Just to tell myself I’m fine
I’d laugh without analysing
Didn’t measure every line
Didn’t feel that pressure building
From a place I can’t define
Now it’s different… now it’s louder
Now it follows everywhere
And the craziest part about it…
I remember when it wasn’t there
⸻
[Hook – fuller, slight lift]
Back when silence didn’t scream
Back when I could just be me
No shadows hiding underneath
No weight I couldn’t breathe
I didn’t know what I would lose
Thought this was just how life moves
Now I look back differently…
At who I used to be
⸻
[Bridge – almost spoken, stripped]
It didn’t hit me all at once…
It was quiet…
Then it stayed
⸻
[Verse 3 – emotional clarity, not loud]
Now every thought feels like a question
Every moment needs attention
Every feeling comes with pressure
Like I’ve lost my own direction
And I miss what I didn’t know
That peace ain’t loud… it never shows
You don’t see it when it’s there
Only feel it when it goes
⸻
[Outro – soft, almost whispered]
I wasn’t perfect…
I was just… free
(piano fades)
