Dear Whoever Is Listening

[Verse 1] I keep a room inside my head Where every thought refuses sleep I turn the noise into a melody Just so it stops belonging to me I never meant to let you in I only wrote to stay intact Then strangers started singing words I barely knew I’d written back I thought I had to make it beautiful To make the mess deserve a name Now even machines can write the perfect line So I stopped trying to sound sane Here’s every ugly little thought Exactly where I left it If you’re still listening I guess you already get it [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know why you stayed I don’t know what you heard Maybe you found yourself Inside my broken words [Chorus] Welcome to the noise I couldn’t hide All the conversations on the other side Every version of me I never understood Talking over each other like I knew they would And somehow you stayed Somehow you knew How to love a song I only wrote to make it through So if you’re still here Thank you I mean it Thank you [Verse 2] Sometimes I give my fear a face Sometimes my loneliness gets a name I let them sit across from me And tell me who deserves the blame One says run One says stay One says nobody wants you anyway One keeps counting every mistake Like evidence I shouldn’t be okay Maybe that sounds ridiculous Maybe I made them far too real But it’s easier to argue with a voice Than explain exactly how I feel So I give them rooms I give them lines I let them ruin songs of mine And somewhere between fiction and confession I survive another night [Pre-Chorus] I don’t know why you stayed I don’t know what you saw Maybe the things I tried to hide Were never strange at all [Chorus] Welcome to the noise I couldn’t hide All the conversations on the other side Every version of me I never understood Talking over each other like I knew they would And somehow you stayed Somehow you knew How to love a song I only wrote to make it through So if you’re still here Thank you I mean it Thank you [Bridge] I used to think Someone would finally explain me Give me the right word The right reason The right diagnosis for every feeling But maybe there isn’t one Maybe I’m only A hundred unfinished sentences Trying to share the same body Maybe making songs Isn’t fixing anything Maybe it’s just Giving the chaos somewhere else to live And maybe That’s enough [Final Chorus] Welcome to the place I disappear Where I turn everything I fear into something you can hear Every contradiction Every unfinished truth All the parts of me I still don’t know what to do with And somehow you stayed Somehow you knew You never had to understand me To understand the music too So whoever you are Wherever you listen from Thank you for sitting With the noise For a little while [Outro] Dear whoever is listening I’m still figuring myself out See you in the next song.
