Lyric

You tell me “trust me,” but it never lands

Inside my heart lives a monster’s hands

Its name is Doubt, born from old scars

It whispers, “They’ll betray you, don’t drop your guard”

Your smile looks fake, your thanks feels wrong

My defense grows stronger when you come along

Better off alone, that’s what I know

No one can hurt you if you never let go

This world feels like a battlefield

Through suspicious eyes my heart is sealed

Everyone looks like an enemy line

So I stay in combat all the time

No one would ever understand

So fine, I’ll make my stand

I’ll live my life alone, my way

Days unloved put chains on me

A locked-up heart that no one sees

I’ve lost the strings to all my feels

Forgotten the way a real smile heals

This empty chest keeps screaming out

But no one hears, no one around

But deep inside, a tiny spark

Wants a warm hand to break this dark

A touch that could melt this frozen soul

And make me feel a little whole

But fear of weakness shuts me in

This loop repeats, I can’t begin

This world feels like a battlefield

Through suspicious eyes my heart is sealed

Everyone looks like an enemy line

So I stay in combat all the time

No one would ever understand

So fine, I’ll make my stand

I’ll live my life alone, my way

I’m locked inside this cage of distrust

But someday I’ll find the key, I must
