Nobody Came Looking

[Intro] I disappeared for a week and nobody came looking that’s the part that keeps killing me [Verse 1] I left messages unread just to see who’d notice turned my phone face down like it owed me an apology Room got quiet lights stayed off I kept waiting for somebody to ask what was wrong But the world kept moving like I wasn’t gone cars still passed and the TV stayed on [Pre-Hook] I know I could’ve called I know that’s on me but I wanted to matter without begging how quiet do I have to get before it gets scary? [Hook] Nobody came looking nobody knocked nobody said my name like they were scared I was lost Nobody came looking and I hate that it’s true I wasn’t testing them I was hoping they knew I don’t wanna be dramatic I don’t wanna be too much I just wanted somebody to give a fuck Nobody came looking and I’m still here barely but I’m still here [Verse 2] Group chat laughed three days straight I watched little bubbles then watched them fade They made plans Friday I said I was tired nobody asked twice and I guess they were right I’m the easy one the low-maintenance friend the “text me whenever” that nobody texts again [Pre-Hook] I know people get busy I know life gets loud but how long can you vanish before it counts? how quiet do I have to get before it gets scary? [Hook] Nobody came looking nobody knocked nobody said my name like they were scared I was lost Nobody came looking and I hate that it’s true I wasn’t testing them I was hoping they knew I don’t wanna be dramatic I don’t wanna be too much I just wanted somebody to give a fuck Nobody came looking and I’m still here barely but I’m still here [Bridge] I’m so fucking tired of being easy to leave of smiling so well nobody worries for me I’m so fucking tired of being “strong” enough that everyone assumes I don’t need love I don’t want rescue I don’t want a scene I just want proof I’m someone they’d need And the worst part is I’d still show up for them I’d answer at midnight I’d ask where they’ve been But when it was me when I went quiet the silence got comfortable and nobody tried it [Breakdown] Nobody came nobody called nobody noticed nothing at all Nobody came nobody knew nobody lost sleep over what I went through I’m still here I’m still here I’m still here why isn’t that enough? [Final Hook] Nobody came looking nobody knocked nobody said my name like they were scared I was lost Nobody came looking and I hate that it’s true I wasn’t testing them I was hoping they knew I don’t wanna be dramatic I don’t wanna be too much I just wanted somebody to give a fuck Nobody came looking and I’m still here barely but I’m still here [Outro] I came back quiet I came back small laughed at the jokes like nothing was wrong I answered the texts said, “Sorry, been busy” like I wasn’t waiting for somebody to miss me And that’s the part I can’t forgive not that I disappeared but that everybody let me.
