【Intro】

Yeah

Wanna take a deep breath with me?

In and out, getting dizzy, can’t breathe

You good? You good? Really okay?

Ha-ha, he-he, losing my way

You good? You good? Tell me how?

Can I make it? Not right now

No way, no chance, hyperventilate

Lungs screaming loud, it’s getting late

Are you ready?

You don’t look fine to me

But if there’s love—here we go, yeah!

Love is the reason, ready go

…Alright, let’s go!

【Verse 1】

Woke up early, before the alarm

But anxiety woke up too, no calm

“Gonna mess it up again today?”

Overthinking every tiny thing in my way

On my screen, everybody’s flawless

Perfect smiles, yeah, honestly bogus

Laughing, crying, all staged so neat

Why dress up pain just for a feed?

Comparing scars is pointless pain

Guess I’m used to it, scrolling sideways again

Top-ranked expert at doubting me

Looking at life from diagonally

Then I stop in front of the mirror

Look at myself, just a little clearer

More steps than yesterday, I swear

“Hey, I’m kinda cute” — yeah, maybe unfair

Every fall adds to my story

Pain turned chapters into glory

Not a single wasted page

Every moment earned its place

【Pre-Chorus】

Some days just don’t go right

That doesn’t mean they’re meaningless nights

Life goes up, life goes down

That’s just how it spins around

Still in progress, that’s the truth

This ain’t the end, it’s just mid-route

【Chorus】

I don’t have to smile

I don’t have to be strong

Songs keep saying “it’s okay”

Man, shut up, that’s wrong

“Just stop and walk again” they say

Don’t joke with me, I’m tired today

I don’t wanna move, I wanna stay

Yeah, I’m exhausted, okay?

My life’s running automatic mode

Breathing fast or losing control

Standing still or letting go

It keeps moving on its own

The starting line is always now

Not yesterday, not somehow

Hands up!

Throw it all into the sky

Toss your worries, spit them out, let them fly

Not okay, but say “I’m fine”

Lying out loud just to survive

A little self mind-control?

Yeah, that’s right

That’s the answer

Absolutely right

【Verse 2】

Working hard but no reward?

Who said that? Shut up, ignore

“Honest people lose the game”

Nah, that’s trash, don’t say that again

Nights when those words shake your soul

Kick the blanket, lose control

Blanket flying, breaking free

Yeah, that’s rebellion therapy

The fact you didn’t quit is real

No one can erase that deal

Living honest, doing right

That alone means you’re alright

Long way round, detours too

Every step still part of you

No rush needed, speed’s your choice

Just don’t stop, that’s enough, rejoice

【Pre-Chorus 2】

Some days their “greatness” blinds your sight

But your color’s here, burning bright

【Chorus (Repeat)】

I don’t have to smile

I don’t have to be strong

Songs keep saying “it’s okay”

Man, shut up, that’s wrong

“Just stop and walk again” they say

Don’t joke with me, I’m tired today

I don’t wanna move, I wanna stay

Yeah, I’m exhausted, okay?

My life’s running automatic mode

Breathing fast or losing control

Standing still or letting go

It keeps moving on its own

The starting line is always now

Hands up!

Throw it all into the sky

Toss your worries, spit them out, let them fly

Not okay, but say “I’m fine”

Lying out loud just to survive

A little self mind-control?

Yeah, that’s right

That’s the answer

Absolutely right

【Bridge】

If your heart feels like it might break

Remember this song we made

You’re not alone, I swear it’s true

Right here, it’s beating with you

【Final Chorus】

I don’t have to smile

I don’t have to cry

Still, you’re standing

Still alive

Look at yesterday’s you

Hold your head high

If you can say

“I’m still going” tonight

Hands up!

Face the future head-on

Take your fears

Bring them along

Today’s the start line

From right here

This story accelerates

【Outro】

Yeah

Wanna take a deep breath with me?

In and out, getting dizzy, can’t breathe

You good? You good? Really okay?

Ha-ha, he-he, losing my way

You good? You good? Tell me how?

Can I make it? Not right now

No way, no chance, hyperventilate

Lungs screaming loud, it’s getting late

Are you ready?

You don’t look fine to me

But if there’s love—here we go!

Love is the reason, ready go

…Alright, let’s go!
