歌詞

Neon on the window coffee getting cold

Scrolling through a timeline painted in gold

Everybody smiling perfectly in frame

Copy-paste emotions playing the same game

I’ve been nodding on repeat

Laughing right on cue

Wearing every color

That looks “good” on you

Walk in steady circles

Round the same old scene

Trying to be a puzzle piece

For somebody else’s dream

But in the mirror I find

A pair of tired eyes

Dressed up for approval

Shrinking in disguise

If I lower the volume

Of what they expect from me

Can I turn up the quiet voice

That whispers who I wanna be?

I’m done chasing every echo in the crowd

Turning myself down just to keep it all allowed

Softly softly I breathe in honestly

“This is me this is me”

No fireworks no sudden breaking free

Just a gentle light unfolding inside of me

Softly softly finally I can see

This is me quietly

This is me quietly

I change my route home

Take the longer ride

City lights are humming

Secrets on my side

Leave a chat on “read”

Don’t explain it all

Let a little silence

Hold me when I fall

Try a different outfit

No one recommended

Play the song I love

Even if it’s not “trended”

Every tiny choice

Feels shaky feels new

But every little almost-step

Pulls me closer to the truth

All the versions of me

That I tried to fake

Cracking like reflections

On a restless lake

If I follow the ripples

Past the blur and noise

Maybe I can recognize

The calm inside my voice

I’m done chasing every echo in the crowd

Turning myself down just to keep it all allowed

Softly softly I breathe in honestly

“This is me this is me”

No fireworks no sudden breaking free

Just a gentle light unfolding inside of me

Softly softly finally I can see

This is me quietly

This is me quietly

I’m still scared of being wrong

Still afraid of standing out

But hiding never kept my heartbeat

From screaming out loud

If I’m too much for someone

Or not enough for some

I’ll still be here humming

My own quiet drum

So I’ll color in the margins

Of the rules they drew

Write a small rebellion

In the shade that feels like “you”

No more playing background

In my only life

I’ll let my true reflection

Step into the light

I’m done chasing every echo in the crowd

Turning myself down just to keep it all allowed

Softly softly I breathe in honestly

“This is me this is me”

No fireworks no sudden breaking free

Just a gentle light unfolding inside of me

Softly softly finally I can see

This is me quietly

This is me quietly

Neon slowly fading but I’m wide awake

Holding all the pieces I used to forsake

In a whisper in a heartbeat in a simple plea

Softly softly this is me

Softly softly this is me
