End of the World

[Verse 1]
My sneakers by the doorway don't fit me anymore
Mom says we'll find another pair when we go to the store
My best friend changed her profile picture, cut her hair last week
I typed a dozen messages, then couldn't find the words to speak

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody says, "You're fine"
Like fine is easy to define

[Chorus]
It feels like the end of the world
When the girl in the mirror is changing
Yesterday fit like a favorite shirt
Now the sleeves keep pulling and straining
Nothing is broken, nobody's gone
Still I wake up and something feels wrong
They call it growing, a normal new turn
But it feels like the end of the world

[Verse 2]
The hallway used to feel so small, I knew each locker door
Now every laugh can find me from the other side of the floor
My birthday candles gather up, thirteen looks strange in gold
I miss the days I understood the person I was told

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody says, "You'll see"
But no one says who I'll be

[Chorus]
It feels like the end of the world
When the girl in the mirror is changing
Yesterday fit like a favorite shirt
Now the sleeves keep pulling and straining
Nothing is broken, nobody's gone
Still I wake up and something feels wrong
They call it growing, a normal new turn
But it feels like the end of the world

[Bridge]
Maybe tomorrow won't ask so much
Maybe I'll learn the shape of my touch
Maybe the pieces aren't meant to stay
The way they were yesterday

[Final Chorus]
It feels like the end of the world
But the sky is still blue through the window
I can be scared of the next unknown
And still take one step where the wind blows
Nothing is broken, nobody's gone
I'm still here when the morning comes on
They call it growing, a normal new turn
It feels like the end of the world

[Outro]
My sneakers by the doorway
Maybe I'll wear them anyway

sad contemporary pop, intimate piano-led verses, soft muted drums entering gradually, warm bass, restrained electric guitar textures, close vulnerable female lead vocal, clear conversational phrasing, pre-chorus rising with layered harmonies, chorus opening into wide emotional synth pads and punchy drums, polished modern mix with gentle dynamics and a bittersweet final outro
