DescriptionI grew up listening to old Dolly Parton and The Beatles records because that’s what my parents loved. Being an only child, I spent a lot of time on my own, so meeting and connecting with people wasn’t always easy for me. Music became a big part of how I saw the world. The songs I grew up listening to made me fall in love with storytelling and the way music can capture real feelings and experiences. As I’ve grown, I’ve also come to appreciate sharing ideas, meeting new people, and building genuine connections.

Verse 1
I don't know when I lost my way
Maybe it happened day by day
I kept saying I'd be fine
While something in me stayed behind

I gave my time, I gave my heart
Tried to keep it all from falling apart
Kept showing up when I was worn
Trying to build something I believed in

Pre-Chorus
I kept telling myself, “Get up”
Even when I had nothing left
I thought if I just pushed harder
Maybe things would finally make sense

Chorus
Somewhere along the way
I lost the part of me
That used to wake up every morning
Believing in what I could be
I've been trying, I swear I have
But lately I don't know how to fight
I'm not giving up on everything
I'm just tired tonight

Verse 2
There were days I gave it all
Stayed up late just to make things work
Kept believing something would change
Even when I started losing faith

I don't regret the time I gave
Or all the things I tried to save
I just wish I knew back then
How tired I'd become in the end

Pre-Chorus
Everybody says, “Keep going”
Like it's easy when you're down
But they don't hear the thoughts inside
When nobody else is around

Chorus
Somewhere along the way
I lost the part of me
That used to wake up every morning
Believing in what I could be
I've been trying, I swear I have
But lately I don't know how to fight
I'm not giving up on everything
I'm just tired tonight

Bridge
Maybe I gave too much of myself
Trying to make everything alright
Maybe somewhere in all that giving
I forgot to ask if I was alright

I don't need another answer
I don't need somebody to blame
I just need to find that little spark
That made me get up every day

Final Chorus
Somewhere along the way
I lost the part of me
But I know he's still somewhere inside
Waiting to breathe
I don't have to fix it all tonight
I don't have to know what's next
Maybe taking one slow step forward
Is enough for me right now

Outro
I don't know when I'll feel okay
But I'll take tomorrow as it comes
For tonight, I'll just be honest
I'm tired... that's all.
