**[Hook]** They don't know the story behind the sound Half a million hearts that I've somehow found AI in my hands but the pain is real Every single word is how I feel Authentic, authentic - that's what I am Even when they doubt it, I know who I am **[Verse 1]** Lost my brother in June, still searching every day Lost the feeling in my thumbs, can't play guitar the same way But I found a new instrument, call it what you want Technology can't replicate the soul inside these thoughts They say it ain't real music if a human didn't sing it But they don't know my story, don't know how I'm feeling Number one on the platform for two months running strong Proves that real emotion can't be faked inside a song **[Chorus]** I'm scared of judgment but I'm more scared of silence Keeping all this music locked away behind my eyelids Every stream's a person who needed what I'm giving Proof that broken people can still make a life worth living **[Hook]** They don't know the story behind the sound Half a million hearts that I've somehow found AI in my hands but the pain is real Every single word is how I feel Authentic, authentic - that's what I am Even when they doubt it, I know who I am **[Verse 2]** Six songs on Spotify, waiting for the world to listen But I'm worried 'bout reception, worried 'bout what I'm missing Success on one platform but I want to reach them all Put that money back in music, answer creativity's call Voice got limitations but my spirit got range Using every tool available, adapting to the change Cutthroat people gonna hate regardless of the method But my pain is still my pain, and my message ain't synthetic **[Bridge]** Half a million streams ain't nothing to dismiss Every single play is someone relating to this I could be a trailblazer or I could stay hidden But the music in my heart wasn't meant to stay forbidden **[Final Hook]** They don't know the story behind the sound Half a million hearts that I've somehow found AI in my hands but the pain is real Every single word is how I feel Authentic, authentic - that's what I am Even when they doubt it, I know who I am **[Outro]** So I'll keep on creating, keep pushing through the fear 'Cause somewhere out there, someone needs to hear That broken don't mean worthless, different don't mean fake Real music comes from real hearts, whatever tools it takes
