Just Pretend

This is a song about the quiet kind of struggle — the kind that hides behind a smile. It’s about the weight of just getting by, of moving through days that blur into one another, of pretending to be okay because it’s easier than explaining the truth. It’s a reflection of the confusion that often comes with trying to make sense of your own feelings when nothing seems to add up.

There are times in life when everything feels out of focus. You question who you are, where you’re going, and whether any of it even matters. And when the world gets loud or overwhelming, we sometimes wear masks — not to deceive, but to survive. “One Day Soon” gives voice to that experience — the longing for clarity, for direction, for a version of yourself that feels real and solid.

But it’s not just a song of sadness — it’s a song of hope deferred. The repeated promise that “One day soon…” is a lifeline. It’s the whisper that maybe tomorrow will be the day you feel different. That maybe, just maybe, there’s still time to become the person you were meant to be.

This isn’t a polished story with a clean ending — it’s a lived-in, honest moment of someone lost in the middle. And for anyone who’s ever felt the same… this one’s for you.
