Turtle on the sidewalk, tracing rainy lines
Nobody’s looking, but I still rewind
The quiet’s heavy, like an old routine
I tell myself I’m fine, whatever that means
My shadow walks beside my shoes
Another day I almost lose
But I hum a song beneath my breath
Like maybe I’ve got something left
If I go slow, maybe I won’t break
Even if I disappear without a trace
No calls, no light, just faded skies
But I’m still here, still trying
One more night, I’ll drift on through
But I wish I had a heart like you
To fall asleep next to, when it’s rough
To be known, to be enough
I wear my past like thrift store jeans
Ripped in places no one’s seen
The kettle’s cold, my thoughts too loud
And I don’t quite fit into the crowd
They talk, they laugh, I fade to gray
But I’ve got words I never say
I’m not lost, just on delay
Still finding my okay
Maybe love is just a room
With dim lights and quiet tunes
Where no one asks you to explain
They just stay through all your rain
You don’t have to fix my mess
Just stay for a minute, nothing less
If I go slow, maybe I won’t break
Even if the noise all fades away
No calls, no light, just sleepy skies
But I breathe in, I still try
One more night, I’ll drift on through
But I wish I had a heart like you
To fall asleep next to, when it’s rough
To be held, to be enough
And maybe I don’t need to run
I’ll just wait for softer suns
Slow steps, but I’m still near
Still walking through the fear
