Dear mom

[Intro]
Dear Mom,
I don't even know how to say this,
but I'm trying.
I really am.
I know you think I got it all under control,
like I'm strong enough to carry all this weight alone.
You see me smile and say I'm doing okay,
but you don't see the nights I'm slowly breaking away.
I remember when you told me don't give up,
but lately it feels like I ain't enough.
[Chorus / Highlight]
Dear Mom…
I’m trying but I’m tired
Feels like I’m walking through a fire
Every day I’m losing strength inside
But I still wipe my tears and say I’m fine
[Verse]
You sacrificed so much just to see me smile,
and I’m scared I’ll let you down after a while.
The pressure’s getting heavy, I can barely breathe,
hiding all these battles that no one else can see.
I fight every single day, even when I feel like fading away.
[Bridge / Emotional Build]
I’ve been fighting myself, got demons inside
And I’m tired of pretending, tired of trying to hide
The pain that I don’t show…
I’m trying but I’m losing the fight sometimes.
[Outro]
Dear Mom,
if I don’t say it out loud, just know
I’m trying.
I’m really trying
