I wake up every morning, staring at the ceiling
A heavy heart, an empty room, a constant sinking feeling
I walk the halls unnoticed, a ghost among the crowd
No one sees the pain I hide, no one hears me shout

I'm just a shadow in the sunlight, a whisper in the wind
Lost in all the chaos, where do I begin?
The mirror shows a stranger, a face I don't recall
I'm losing grip, I'm slipping, can someone break my fall?

I'm on the edge! I'm hanging by a thread!
The darkness whispers softly, pulling me to bed
But there's a spark inside me, a voice that won't let go
Saying "Hold on a little longer, there's more you need to know"

The scars upon my skin are stories left untold
A battlefield of wars fought and a heart that's growing cold
I write my pain in secret, in ink that's black and blue
Hoping someone reads between the lines and sees me through

I'm just a shadow in the sunlight, a whisper in the wind
Lost in all the chaos, where do I begin?
The mirror shows a stranger, a face I don't recall
I'm losing grip, I'm slipping, can someone break my fall?

I'm on the edge! I'm hanging by a thread!
The darkness whispers softly, pulling me to bed
But there's a spark inside me, a voice that won't let go
Saying "Hold on a little longer, there's more you need to know"

I see a light, it's faint but growing stronger
A hand reaching out to me, saying "You can hold on longer"
The tears I cry are rivers, washing away my pain
Maybe there's a chance for me to find myself again

I'm on the edge, I'm hanging by a thread
The darkness whispers softly, pulling me to bed
But there's a spark inside me, a voice that won't let go
Saying "Hold on a little longer, there's more you need to know"

I'll take a step, I'll breathe, I'll fight another day
For every broken heart, there's a reason to stay
I'm more than just a shadow, more than just a name
I'm a girl who's fighting back, I'm the one who'll break the chains
