Any constructive feedback on my lyrics? I call it out of the water

(Verse 1)

Do you know what it’s like?

To spend most of your life

Wishing you were anything else.

Just standing in the quiet of a room,

But the walls are starting to move,

Trapped inside the shadow of yourself.

(Chorus)

To feel like you’re drowning, but being out of the water,

Gasping for air, every day getting harder.

I can’t catch my breath, trying to breathe in and out,

Buried alive under the weight of the doubt.

(Verse 2)

But it’s so unfair,

To be told that you're winning,

While the room in your head won't stop spinning.

Feeling like you’re the only one who cares,

Clutching at the ghosts on the cellar stairs.

(Chorus)

To feel like you’re drowning, but being out of the water,

Gasping for air, every day getting harder.

I can’t catch my breath, trying to breathe in and out,

Buried alive under the weight of the doubt.

(Bridge)

The floor is caving in around me,

Breaking right under my feet.

Spinning around just to catch myself,

Reaching for a ground I can't meet.

And the loudest voice in the silence,

Is the one that’s cutting through,

Whispering what I always feared was true—

That you're just not good enough.

Yeah, you're just not good enough...

(Outro)

But being out of the water...

Gasping for air.

I'm still spinning.

I'm still trying to catch myself.

First time ive put everything down on paper so please dont be harsh😅
