[Intro – ambient, distant vocals]
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I’m tired…
So tired of falling
⸻
[Verse 1]
My passion died, I can’t lie, I been runnin’ on empty
Feel alone and paranoid like the world tryna get me
Phone on silent, I disappear when it’s heavy
Love being alone when I’m low so nobody can stress me
Still tryna accept all the people that left me
Guess some chapters had an ending, never meant to protect me
Act like I’m fine, but my eyes say I’m pretending
Lonely soul, nobody knows how this feeling can wreck me
Born to be broken, maybe that’s why I’m open
Spill my pain into these songs so nobody feels hopeless
Under-appreciated, emotions unspoken
I been running for so long, forgot what I was chasin’
Ran up that hill tryna bargain with God
Then I realized I already got all that I got
Vision blurry but I’m learning to see through the fog
There’s beauty in the ugly, pain leaves beautiful scars
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wanna feel
Don’t wanna feel this way
I said I’d escape
But I’m stuck in the same place
⸻
[Chorus]
I just wanna feel alive
Even if it hurts sometimes
I’m scared of falling in love
Scared of falling every time
I just wanna feel okay
Without numbing all the pain
I’m scared of falling in love
But I’m more scared of feeling nothing
⸻
[Verse 2]
Heart full of hatred, energy faded
Either I’m tired or anxious, my mind complicates it
Same day, same pain, different conversations
All this talk with myself, man, it don’t help
Broken wings got me falling, can’t take flight
Mama called, she don’t know her son ain’t right
I’m balling — not the money, just crying at night
Stalling, telling myself that one day I’ll be fine
I stare at the ceiling, arguing with my thoughts
Just wanna feel alive, not stuck in a box
I think I need somebody, yeah I’ll say it out loud
‘Cause disappearing quietly ain’t helping me now
⸻
[Bridge – emotional shift]
She saw beauty in my darkness
I saw darkness in her smile
We held our feelings hostage
Afraid to stay a while
I drown it out on weekends
Wake up feeling vacant
Searching for a feeling
That the drugs can’t keep replacing
But maybe love ain’t the enemy
Maybe fear is just loud
Maybe falling isn’t failing
Maybe I just forgot how
⸻
[Final Chorus – lifted, fuller instrumental]
I just wanna feel alive
Even if I cry sometimes
I’m scared of falling in love
But I still wanna try
I just wanna feel okay
Without running every day
I’m scared of falling in love
But I don’t wanna fade away
⸻
[Outro – soft, almost whispered]
Oh no, oh no, oh no
I’m tired… but I’m still here
Still breathing
