Barely Alive
Ronnie Ruth Ft. Darcy Ruth[Verse 1]
The morning feels like punishment,
A war I fight with shaking hands.
I beg the sun to fade away,
'Cause I can’t face another day.
[Verse 2]
The mirror shows a stranger’s face,
A ghost who’s trapped inside my place.
I scream but no one hears the sound,
My voice is lost, I’m breaking down.
[Pre-Chorus]
You say “just breathe,”
but I’m choking inside.
You say “you’ll heal,”
but I’m barely alive.
[Chorus]
I’m barely alive,
Holding my breath through the night.
Fighting the thoughts I can’t hide,
Begging my heart not to die.
If I fall asleep tonight,
Will I ever open my eyes?
[Bridge]
My heartbeat’s turning slow,
My fear won’t let me go.
Don’t let me fade this time…
I’ll keep you breathing — you’re mine.
[Final Chorus]
We’re barely alive,
But still we fight for the light.
If the dark wants us tonight,
Then we’ll burn before we die.
Barely alive… but we’re still alive.
