Woke up in the city, same old lonely view
Another day begins, nothin' feels brand new
Chasin' after dreams, under neon skies
But the higher I climb, the harder the fallin' feels like
They tell me, "Keep on grindin', your time is gonna come"
But the hustle's gettin' tired, feelin' kinda numb
Is this all there is? Just a never-endin' race?
Tryna find my purpose, in this crowded place
City lights and broken dreams, paintin' shadows on my wall
Tryna piece together, the pieces of it all
Yeah, I'm still believin', even when the hope is gone
Singin' my heart out, till the break of dawn
Social media stories, showin' perfect lives
But behind the filters, everybody hides
We're all just searchin', for a little bit of real
In a world of illusions, how are we supposed to feel?
They tell me, "Keep on grindin', your time is gonna come"
But the hustle's gettin' tired, feelin' kinda numb
Is this all there is? Just a never-endin' race?
Tryna find my purpose, in this crowded place
City lights and broken dreams, paintin' shadows on my wall
Tryna piece together, the pieces of it all
Yeah, I'm still believin', even when the hope is gone
Singin' my heart out, till the break of dawn
Sometimes I feel like, I'm just talkin' to the moon
Pourin' out my secrets, hopin' it'll come back soon
But even in the silence, I can hear a melody
A reminder that I'm strong, and I'm meant to be
City lights and broken dreams, paintin' shadows on my wall
Tryna piece together, the pieces of it all
Yeah, I'm still believin', even when the hope is gone
Singin' my heart out, till the break of dawn
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on singin', keep on dreamin' on
Till the city lights fade, and a new day is born
