[Intro – sparse piano notes, distant rain sound] The mirror shows a stranger’s face I do not know this empty space [Verse 1 – soft acoustic guitar, intimate vocal] My body changes every single day Words I want to say just slip away Friends walk past like I am glass Watching all the moments pass Mother screams behind closed doors Father paces on the floors I feel small inside my skin Wondering where I begin [Pre-Chorus – cello enters, rising tension] The noise is getting loud inside There is nowhere left to hide Every breath feels heavy now Sweat upon my furrowed brow [Chorus – swelling strings, powerful emotional vocal] I am standing on the edge Looking over from the ledge Everything is falling down Silence is the only sound If I step into the night Will it make the pain alright? No more fighting with the air No one sees me standing there [Verse 2 – minimal piano, vulnerable tone] Lost the ones I used to trust Turned our memories into dust They say it is just growing up Pouring poison in my cup Hormones rage like stormy seas Bringing me down to my knees I try to scream but no sound comes Beating like broken drums [Pre-Chorus – building intensity, layered vocals] The noise is getting loud inside There is nowhere left to hide Every breath feels heavy now Sweat upon my furrowed brow [Chorus – full instrumentation, desperate plea] I am standing on the edge Looking over from the ledge Everything is falling down Silence is the only sound If I step into the night Will it make the pain alright? No more fighting with the air No one sees me standing there [Bridge – stripped back, raw whisper to shout] Is this what it means to grow? Letting all the happiness go? I am tired of being strong I have been wrong for too long Just let me fade away Before the break of day [Solo – weeping cello melody, slow and mournful] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – maximum emotion, soaring then breaking] I am standing on the edge Looking over from the ledge Everything is falling down Silence is the only sound If I step into the night Will it make the pain alright? No more fighting with the air No one sees me standing there [Outro – fading piano, single note repeat] The water looks so calm and deep Promising eternal sleep
