Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – soft synth pad with distant rain] woke up broken / but still breathing / chasing light / barely seeing --- [Verse 1] Cold sheets, hospital halls, walls echo my mistakes I taste the bitter medicine of all my past mistakes Hands reaching out through the haze, I want to pull them close But my heart’s a hollow drum, beats out of ghost --- [Pre-Chorus] Told myself I’m done running from pain But every smile feels like a stain Trying to find a spark inside this dark Hope’s a fragile flame, but I’m holding on --- [Hook] Numb won’t love me back, but I’m still here Fighting through the shadows, drowning all my fear Pour the light in cracks, let it wash the black Numb won’t love me back, but maybe I can fight back --- [Verse 2] Empty bottles on the shelf, but I don’t reach tonight Voices in my head slow down, giving me a little light Counting scars, not trophies now, learning to forgive Maybe self-love’s the first step just to live --- [Bridge] I fell, yeah, I fell hard and fast But I’m here, learning how to last One breath, one step, one broken heart Trying to mend what’s torn apart --- [Final Hook – building hope] Numb won’t love me back, but I’m still here Shaking off the silence, wiping away the tears Pour the light in cracks, chase away the black Numb won’t love me back, but I’m fighting back --- [Outro – soft humming fading with rain] Hold on... Hold on... --- [Spoken Disclaimer – normal, caring tone] If you’re feeling overwhelmed or struggling with thoughts like these, please know you’re not alone.
