Lyrics

Verse 1

I’m sorry if I snapped a little loud,

Didn’t mean to let it spill out now.

But everything’s stacking, it’s piling high,

Homework pages and a tired mind.

My room’s a mess, yeah I already know,

But I’m being pulled in every direction I go.

And I’m trying my best but it’s never enough,

Feels like I’m drowning in “hurry up” stuff.

Pre-Chorus

And I hear it all, every word they say,

“Do this, fix that, don’t fall behind today…”

Chorus

What am I supposed to do right now?

I’m only one person, tell me how—

To clean it all up, catch up, stay fine,

Be perfect every single time.

I can’t just change it in a blink of an eye,

Even if I try, even if I try.

And I’m not a disaster, not a mistake,

Just someone who’s breaking under what’s at stake.

Verse 2

There’s a concert ticket in the back of my mind,

A little bright thing I’m trying to find.

But it’s dangling like a warning light,

“If you slip up, it’s out of sight.”

So I’m rushing, I’m racing, I’m losing the air,

Trying to prove that I actually care.

But I wish they could see what’s under my skin,

I’m not lazy—I’m just wearing thin.

Pre-Chorus

And it feels like I’m always one step wrong,

Even when I’m trying all along…

Chorus

What am I supposed to do right now?

I’m only one person, tell me how—

To fix it all up, catch up, stay fine,

Hold everything together all the time.

I can’t just change it in a blink of an eye,

No matter how hard I try, I try.

And I’m not a “perfect daughter” in disguise,

I’m just human under pressure that never dies.

Bridge

So I’m sorry if it sounded like I don’t care,

I just needed someone to notice I’m there.

Not a machine that can do it all fast,

Not living in a race that never can last.

Just… breathe with me for a second or two,

I’m doing what I can—what else can I do?

Final Chorus

What am I supposed to do right now?

I’m only one person, show me how—

To carry it all without falling apart,

To keep up while it’s tearing my heart.

I can’t just change it in a blink of an eye,

But I’m still here, still trying, still getting by.

Not perfect, not easy, but I’m alive,

And that has to count for something sometimes.

Outro

Just give me a moment… I’ll find my way…

One step at a time, not all in a day.
