Never Meant to End This Way

[Verse 1]
The sun was rising, but I stayed in the dark,
Counting cracks in the ceiling, falling apart.
Coffee turned cold, untouched on the chair,
The weight of the world, too heavy to bear.
[Prechorus]
Tried to climb, but the hill was too steep,
Tried to cry, but I ran out of weep.
[Chorus]
It was never meant to end this way,
Just another hard night, just another long day.
I whispered for help, but no one could hear,
Now the silence is loud, and the end feels near.
[Verse 2]
Mama called me, said she prayed last night,
I told her I'm fine, though my voice wasn't right.
The stars outside, they don’t shine like before,
I’ve locked the pain behind a closed door.
[Prechorus]
I built a wall, but it started to crack,
I reached for the light, but it never reached back.
[Chorus]
It was never meant to end this way,
Just another hard night, just another long day.
I whispered for help, but no one could hear,
Now the silence is loud, and the end feels near.
