I got up every morning and somehow carried on,

Smiled through the day while inside I was gone.

I told everyone, “I’m doing just fine,”

But every single night, I was losing my mind.

I hid myself behind a thousand different faces,

Tried to carry all my pain in secret places.

Until one day, there was nothing left of me,

Only one question: “Will I ever find myself again?”

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And I thought this would last forever,

That I’d never see the light again, ever.

⸻

Chorus

Mental Breakdown – I was lying on the floor,

Drowning in the tears and questions more and more.

I truly thought I couldn’t do this anymore,

My heart was tired, my soul at war.

Mental Breakdown – I fell so deep,

’Cause for far too long, I was fighting against me.

But somewhere between the darkness and the pain,

My fighting heart kept beating just the same.

⸻

Verse 2

There were days when I didn’t want to see anyone,

Because I had no idea how to keep moving on.

The world kept turning, but I stood still,

Wondering, “Will anyone ever know how I feel?”

But slowly I learned I didn’t have to be strong,

Didn’t have to hide my fears all along.

I was allowed to break, allowed to ask for help,

And no longer had to carry it all by myself.

⸻

Pre-Chorus

And for the very first time, I started to believe,

That after every night, a new morning could still be.

⸻

Chorus

Mental Breakdown – I was lying on the floor,

Drowning in the tears and questions more and more.

I truly thought I couldn’t do this anymore,

My heart was tired, my soul at war.

Mental Breakdown – I fell so deep,

’Cause for far too long, I was fighting against me.

But somewhere between the darkness and the pain,

My fighting heart kept beating just the same.

⸻

Bridge

Today I still carry scars, but I’m not ashamed anymore,

Because every single one reminds me what I survived before.

I’m not broken – I’m simply put together in a different way,

And it’s those very cracks that make me who I am today.

⸻

Final Chorus

Mental Breakdown – I fell so deep,

But the darkness didn’t defeat me.

From a thousand shattered pieces came a brand-new light,

And now I know: breaking down doesn’t mean you’re broken inside.
