Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No sense of time anymore,
Every breath feels forced somehow.
Words keep falling from my mouth,
But they don't sound like me now.
Everything repeats again,
Same old cycle, same old night.
I'm so tired of pretending
That everything's alright.
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry if I'm not
The person that you wanted.
I can't replace myself,
No matter how I want it.
I'm sorry if I spoke up,
Like I never had the right.
I'm sorry if I'm exhausted
From fighting through every night.
[Chorus]
Maybe I wasn't the perfect daughter,
Maybe I'll never be.
But hey, I'm still standing here,
And that's enough for me.
Maybe I wasn't the perfect friend,
Maybe I'll never be.
But hey, I'm still standing here,
That's the only truth I see.
Maybe I wasn't the perfect student,
Maybe I'll never be.
But hey, I'm still standing here,
Still holding onto me.
[Verse 2]
Paper, pen, and shaking hands,
As I write the first few lines.
Trying to find a piece of hope
Between the cracks inside.
The cold keeps finding me outside,
As I walk through fading streets.
Step by step into the darkness,
Yet somehow on my feet.
[Bridge]
Breathe.
Live.
Smile.
Then start it all again.
They say it should be easy,
But they don't know where I've been.
And even when the world falls down,
And all that's left are broken pieces,
I'm still here among the fragments,
Searching for a reason.
[Final Chorus]
Maybe I wasn't the perfect daughter,
Maybe I'll never be.
Maybe I wasn't what they needed,
Or what they wanted to see.
Maybe I wasn't the perfect version
Of who I was supposed to be.
But through every scar and every storm,
I'm still standing here.
