[Verse 1] You look right through me when I speak Like my words are just noise you don’t need Every silence cuts deeper than screams I’m standing right here, but you don’t see me [Pre-Chorus] You say my name like it weighs you down Every sharp word just breaks me now I bend, I fold, I lose myself Trying to be someone else [Chorus] If I were someone else, would you stay? Would you soften your voice when you say my name? I’m tired of loving you from the floor Begging for crumbs when I want so much more If I were someone else in your eyes Maybe I’d finally feel alive [Verse 2] I rehearse my lines before I talk Afraid I’ll give you another reason to walk You don’t notice when I fall apart Only see me when it’s already too far [Pre-Chorus] I swallow tears, I swallow pride Just to keep you by my side Every day I erase my truth Hoping I’ll be enough for you [Chorus] If I were someone else, would you stay? Would you hold me close instead of pushing me away? I’m tired of loving you from the floor Begging for crumbs when I want so much more If I were someone else in your eyes Maybe I’d finally feel alive [Bridge] I know love shouldn’t hurt like this Or feel like I don’t exist But even knowing what I deserve I still ache for one kind word [Chorus - Final] If I were someone else, would you see The way I love you endlessly? I’m breaking under the weight of hope Trying to hold onto what you won’t hold If I were someone else in your eyes Maybe I’d finally feel alive [Outro] I’m still here, still waiting Still hoping you’ll change But every time you look away I fade a little more each day
