Chorus:
I was hoping it would count
For you to never let me down
I thought you’d be the one
But you just play me round and round

Verse 1:
Maybe I would never fit into the standards
Of a society that all over the feeds
In a world obsessed with perfect screens
The trends that keep me up at night
Just to keep up with the hype

Chorus:
I was hoping it would count
For you to never let me down
I thought you’d be the one
But you just play me round and round

Verse 2:
I’m just a tiny fracture in the world
Whose lessons kept me humbled
Building dreams I sketched from scratch
It’s never been about the cash
But deep down I know I’m still wholehearted and blessed

Chorus:
I was hoping it would count
For you to never let me down
I thought you’d be the one
But you just play me round and round
Waiting for a sign to show
Watching every new act you throw
Uncovering the glam and glow
But it’s just a half-baked dough

Bridge:
When the crowd lines up to chase the light
They never seem to check my side
They surely forgot to call me over
Just because I’m a wife?
Paralyzed and drowned without an exposure
But there's fire in the quiet
Strength in what’s unseen
A love that fuels my riot
In a world that's way too mean

Chorus-ending:
I was hoping it would count
I was hoping it would count
I was hoping it would count
For you to never let me down

Outro:
Fire in the quiet
(Strength in the unseen)
Fueling my riot
(In a world that’s mean)

I gave it all I know
But it’s just a half-baked dough
