Anybody Else

Lyrics

Verse 1
Can't breathe, vision's gettin' blurry now
Heart races, never felt so worried
How'm I s'posed to carry this weight?
It would've been easier if I were anybody else

Dear mom, tell me what you would've done
Too bad that I'm not your braver child
Why'd the stars pick me to lead?
I wish that I could be anybody else

Chorus
Anybody else, anybody else
Somebody stronger, somebody who never second-guesses
Anybody else, anybody else
With steadier hands and a quieter chest
I'd give it all just to borrow their skin
Just for one night, just to breathe again

Verse 2
The walls are closing, every choice feels wrong
I hear your voice in the back of my head
"Stand tall, don't break, don't let 'em see you bleed"
But I'm cracking under the crown I never asked for

I keep replaying every step I took
Wondering where I lost the version of me
That could look at the storm and still stand still
It would've been easier if I were anybody else

Chorus
Anybody else, anybody else
Somebody braver, somebody who doesn't freeze
Anybody else, anybody else
With fire in their blood instead of fear in their knees
I'd trade the weight, I'd trade the name
Just to wake up and not feel the same

Bridge
Maybe the stars don't choose the strong ones
Maybe they just choose the ones who stay
Even when the ground keeps shifting
Even when the light feels far away
I'm still here, still breathing somehow
Still carrying what I never asked to hold
If this is the path, then I'll walk it broken
But God, I wish I could be anybody else

Final chorus
I'm supposed to do something
Am I, am I supposed to do something?
Do I run, do I dare, can I grant my own prayer?
Soften up, take a breath

Let me stop you right there
There's no need for the fight
Swallow the fear, set the anger aside
Hey… just fall back
