SnowiBeatz - Why Can't I Just Exist? Lyrics

I look into the mirror don't recognize the face
Trapped inside a body feeling so out of place
Every day's a battle trying to survive
Hiding who I am just to stay alive
They tell me to be strong but how can I explain?
Living in a world where I'm met with disdain
I wear my heart on my sleeve but it's torn and frayed
Dreaming of acceptance yet I'm so afraid
Why Can't I Just Exist? Be who I wanna be
Caught in the shadows longing to be free
Why can't they see my pain?
Trying to be myself in a world where I must hide
Voices all around me whispering their hate
Judging from a distance sealing my fate
I paint on a smile but inside I'm breaking
Living as a lie my spirit is aching
Every step I take feels like a test
Wishing I could breathe just like the rest
They don't know my journey the tears I've cried
The battles I've fought and the part of me that's died
Why Can't I Just Exist? Be who I wanna be
Caught in the shadows longing to be free
Why can't they see my pain? The struggle deep inside (inside)
Trying to be myself in a world where I must hide
I'm more than a label more than their scorn
A phoenix rising though I feel so worn
In a world that's cold I seek a spark
A place where I can shine and mend my broken heart
Searching for a future where I can belong
Finding my own strength learning to stay strong
Hoping for a day when they'll understand
That I deserve love a gentle helping hand
Every day's a fight but I won't back down
Claiming my identity
They can't erase me no matter how they try
Why Can't I Just Exist? Be who I wanna be
Why can't they see my pain? (My pain)
One day I'll stand tall in the light of day
In a world that's yet to see why I can't just exist
