Inside My Chest
Warm indie-pop ballad with gentle piano and brushed drums, intimate male vocals close to the mic. Verse stays soft with sparse chords and subtle bass; chorus swells with airy pads, tambourine, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Light reverb for a cozy glow, slow build to a tender final refrain that lands quietly.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Woke up heavy
Like I swallowed a stone
Coffee on the counter
But I still feel alone
Try to name it
Is it fear
Is it stress?
Just a storm in my ribs
Spinning under my breath
Chorus
All these feelings
Crowded in my chest
Talking over each other
Never let me rest
I’m not broken
Just a little overstretched
Trying to learn the language
Of this heart inside my chest
Verse 2
Smiled at your message
Then I wanted to cry
How can I feel hopeful
With a sadness nearby?
I keep waiting
For one mood to stay
But they come like buses
Then they pull away
Chorus
All these feelings
Crowded in my chest
Talking over each other
Never let me rest
I’m not broken
Just a little overstretched
Trying to learn the language
Of this heart inside my chest
Bridge
Maybe I don’t fix it
Maybe I just stay
Sit with every color
Even when it’s gray (oh-oh)
If every wave is welcome
Nothing goes to waste
Every little heartbreak
Leaves a softer place
Chorus
All these feelings
Crowded in my chest
Talking over each other
But they’re all my guests
I’m not broken
Just a little overstretched
Learning to be gentle
With this heart inside my chest
