stomach flipped

*"STOMACH FLIPS" - The Nervous Song* *[Verse 1 - whisper]* Alarm at 7, heart at 100, Uniform's ready but my hands are shaking. Bag packed twice, check it again, What if I mess up in front of everyone? Timetable's a maze I can't read, Every corridor's too long for me. Everyone knows where to go, And I'm just standing still. *[Chorus - shaky but building]* Got that nervous in my chest, Like a drum that won't rest, Hands cold, head hot, Trying to be cool when I'm not. Stomach flips, lips sealed, Pretending that I know the deal, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, But I'm still here. *[Verse 2]* Canteen's loud, I sit near the edge, Laugh too quick, talk too fast in my head. "Are they looking? Did I say it wrong?" Replay that moment all day long. Locker won't open, 2 minutes to bell, Breathe in, breathe out, you know it well. One foot, one step, that's enough, You don't have to be tough. *[Chorus - bigger]* Got that nervous in my chest, Like a drum that won't rest, Hands cold, head hot, Trying to be cool when I'm not. Stomach flips, lips sealed, Scared of how I'm gonna feel, I'm nervous, I'm nervous, But I'm still here. *[Bridge - soft, honest]* It's okay to shake, It's okay to not know. Everybody's nervous, They just don't let it show. You're not alone in this feeling, Let the feeling go slow... *[Outro - breathing]* Nervous... but I'm breathing, Nervous... but I'm still here. Nervous... but I'm going in anyway. ---
