A thought traveling through space and time.

the ones who return together

[Chorus]
It’s not ‘cause I don’t care,
It’s just the weight I can’t hold everywhere.
I breathe it in, then I let it fly,
What’s outta my hands, I don’t let it define my life.

[Verse 1]
People think my silence means I ain’t affected,
But I’m high sensitive - I feel it, I respect it.
Back in the day, I’d lose sleep, overthink deep,
Every word, every look, kept me up in the heat.
It left marks on my mind, like graffiti in the rain,
Learned peace ain’t found in replayin’ the pain.
I still get caught, thinkin’ ten steps ahead,
Worst-case in my head, just to soften the dread.
And yeah, there’s a moment when the storm clears the air,
I smile, ‘cause the fear I had… wasn’t even there.

[Chorus]
It’s not ‘cause I don’t care,
It’s just the weight I can’t hold everywhere.
I breathe it in, then I let it fly,
What’s outta my hands, I don’t let it define my life.

[Verse 2]
See, some things ain’t yours to carry or control,
Some truths, they belong to another soul.
I can’t change what they think, can’t rewrite their page,
But I can check my heart, keep my peace on stage.
So I break it down - what’s fact, what’s mine to own,
What’s outside my reach, I just leave it alone.
It’s a lesson in balance, a test of grace,
Learning when to fight and when to give space.
It’s not apathy, nah, it’s survival in the raw,
Protectin’ my spirit from the weight I saw.

[Chorus]
It’s not ‘cause I don’t care,
It’s just the weight I can’t hold everywhere.
I breathe it in, then I let it fly,
What’s outta my hands, I don’t let it define my life.

[Outro]
Not every battle’s mine.
Not every thought’s worth my time.
I’m still here, still feelin’, still real.
I just choose where I heal.
