[Verse 1] I smile like it’s easy, like I don’t keep score Laugh a little louder than I did before I know all the right lines, how to keep it light But I fade in the silence every night [Pre-Chorus] You see the best of what I give Not what it costs me just to live [Chorus] I’m a half battery heart in a crowded room Running on low, but I’ll make it look smooth I can talk, I can laugh, I can play the part While it pulls every charge from a fragile heart Yeah, I open up wide like I’m built for this But I ration every word, every little bit I’m alive on the outside, holding the start Of a half battery heart [Verse 2] I like conversations, just not too long Every little moment feels slightly off It’s not that I hate you, I just need space But I don’t wanna vanish without a trace [Pre-Chorus] I stretch it thin so it won’t show How close I am to letting go [Chorus] I’m a half battery heart in a crowded room Running on low, but I’ll make it look smooth I can talk, I can laugh, I can play the part While it pulls every charge from a fragile heart Yeah, I open up wide like I’m built for this But I ration every word, every little bit I’m alive on the outside, holding the start Of a half battery heart [Bridge] If I go quiet, don’t take it wrong I’ve been “on” for way too long It’s not your fault, it’s just my way I need some distance to feel okay No big exit, no warning sign Just closing doors in my own mind [Final Chorus] I’m a half battery heart, almost out of range Still I show up, still I try to engage I can love, I can give, I can play the part Even when it’s tearing me apart Yeah, I open up wide but I feel the cost Every little piece that I slowly lost I’m alive on the outside, falling apart Just a half battery heart
