Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I threw out the shirt you left on my floor Wasn’t much, but it felt like war Some things stick no matter how deep You bury them under days without sleep Tried cutting my hair just to feel control Didn’t work, but it gave me a goal Stared in the mirror for half the night Still didn’t like what I saw in the light [Pre-Chorus] And I keep saying I’m okay Like the words might make it true someday But it’s hard to feel real at all When no one notices if you fall [Chorus] Skin of ash, still feels warm I’ve been walking through the storm Told myself I’m moving on But I’m stuck replaying what went wrong I laugh just to fill the space Lie to strangers just in case They ask too much, and I fall apart Right back to where I always start [Verse 2] I text back when I don’t want to talk Play the part like it’s all just a walk But I’m dragging weight I never chose Carrying pain that nobody knows I drive past places we used to go Pretend it doesn’t hurt, but I know The past isn’t gone — it just hides In songs I skip and quiet nights [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to be saved Just someone who stays when I cave But people leave when you get too deep So I’ve learned to drown where no one can see [Chorus] Skin of ash, still feels warm Fighting fires I never warned You can’t rebuild when you’re still burnt Can’t forget what you never learned I laugh just to kill the noise Smile like I have a choice But under it all, I’m still the same Still chasing peace I never claimed [Bridge] I don’t want a fix, just space To feel the weight without the shame You don’t have to understand Just let me breathe, don’t grab my hand [Final Chorus] Skin of ash, still feels warm I’m not broken, just worn I don’t need to rise or shine Just need a day where I feel fine No speeches, no advice Just quiet, honest eyes That see the mess and still stay close That’s the kind of love I miss the most [Outro] I’m still here, even if I fade Still trying to mean the words I say
