Sadness Rules my Life

[slow instrumental intro][building melody] [background cello][harmonic violins] [verse] faking smiles day by day, the truth hidden deep inside. i am really not okay, all these smiles just hide my cries. [interlude][violin driven] [chorus] my sadness rules my life, it's a battle i can't win. no one knows the pain inside, behind the smile, it's wearing thin. [emotional violin solo] [verse 2] i can't put it into words, this ache i can't explain. something inside me burns, like a never-ending flame. [interlude][dramatic cello] [chorus] my sadness rules my life, it's a battle i can't win. no one knows the pain inside, behind the smile, it's wearing thin. [instrumental break][gentle shift] [bridge] alone all day, i wander, no one to show me the way. maybe that's the real issue, in this lonely, darkened bay. [chorus] my sadness rules my life, it's a battle i can't win. no one knows the pain inside, behind the smile, it's wearing thin. [instrumental][violin melody] [final verse] i'm searching for the strength to rise, but all that's left, hides from my eyes. in the silence, i keep falling, but i'll keep trying, i'll keep calling. [short instrumental outro] [end]
