Don’t Listen
Melancholic indie ballad scene, female soprano singing under soft stage lights, emotional expression, soft electric guitar arpeggios, dreamy night sky with glowing paper stars, intimate and cinematic, moody colors, gentle reverb atmosphere

Lyrics
Verse 1
I used to sing myself to sleep,
Now thunder rolls where I weep.
I thought this world was made of light,
But I was left alone in the night.
Pre-Chorus
They say they’re friends, but I can see
They build me cages, not a shell for me.
Chorus
Don’t listen to them,
They don’t know my heart.
They call it love,
But tear me apart.
I don’t belong in their broken dreams,
I’m trying to breathe,
I’m Little Charlie, set me free.
Verse 2
They said my pain would fade away,
But I feel it with me every day.
My hands still shake when morning comes,
I’m still waiting, the little one.
Bridge
I built a sky of paper stars,
To guide me home from where you are.
I won’t sell my soul for silver words,
I still remember who we were.
Chorus
Don’t listen to them,
They don’t know my name.
They promise warmth,
But hand me flames.
You taught me truth, so I’ll be brave,
I’ll find my way, I won’t cave.
Listen to me, I’m Little Charlie.
Outro
If love can heal, then let it start,
I’ll whisper hope into my heart.
Listen to me,
I’m Little Charlie,
I won’t listen to them.
