[Style:] [Piano Ballad] [Lo-fi Ambient] [Slow build strings] [Layered whisper harmonies] [Verse 1 – ELIROBB (Male) – barely above a whisper] If I’m honest I still wonder why I was the one let go Before I could even cry I know the story I know she was young But there’s a quiet voice That says I was the wrong one I don’t say that out loud It sounds ungrateful, I know But some nights that question Won’t let me go [Verse 2 – Lily (Female) – fragile tone] If I’m honest We smile on command But there are cracks They don’t understand They see the photos The lights, the stage They don’t see the silence Or the hidden rage [Pre-Chorus – May / Hana harmonies (Females)] We learned to be strong Before we were ready Learned how to carry Things too heavy Chorus – All (soft, aching) If I’m honest I’m still afraid That I was too much Or not enough to stay If I’m honest I still blame me For things that happened Before I could see If I’m honest I don’t always believe That I deserve The love I receive [Verse 3 – ELIROBB (Male)] When my parents split I was just a kid But I replay every moment Wondering what I did Did I talk too loud? Did I need too much? Was I one more weight They couldn’t touch? I know that’s irrational I know it’s not true But trauma doesn’t care What logic tells you [Verse 4 – Hana (Female) – breaking tone] We learned perfection As a defense If we don’t mess up We won’t be left But every mistake Feels like proof That love is conditional And we’ll lose [Bridge – stripped – just piano] [ELIROBB:] I’m tired of pretending I’m healed [Lily:] Me too [ELIROBB:] I’m tired of acting like it doesn’t still hurt [May (soft):] It does [ELIROBB:] I’m scared that if people see the real me [Hana (barely audible):] They’ll leave [Final Chorus – slightly stronger, still soft] If I’m honest I’m still that kid Trying to be perfect For love I already had If I’m honest I don’t always see The worth in the mirror Staring back at me If I’m honest I’m still learning how To believe I’m wanted Even now [No dramatic ending.] [Just piano fading.] [Maybe one last whispered line:] [ELIROBB (alone):] If I’m honest… I just wanted to stay.
