**[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
