Lonely in a Crowded Room (Reimagined)

[Verse 1] I stand in doorways Like I’m waiting for permission Conversations move around me But no one feels the distance I smile when they notice me I nod like I’m okay But there’s a storm behind my ribs That never goes away [Pre-Chorus] My throat gets tight With words I’ll never use If I let them out I’m scared of what I’d lose [Chorus] I’m lonely in a crowded room Breaking quietly If I vanished for a moment Would you notice me? Please, someone see me Before I fall apart I’m screaming without sound With a shaking heart [Verse 2] I want to say, come with me But the no would cut too deep I want to share my thoughts with you But rejection doesn’t sleep So I bury every question Let it echo in my chest Maybe if I say less Maybe I could put this to rest [Pre-Chorus 2] And if you ever ask me When I started to fall You were standing right beside me You just didn’t see at all [Bridge] My only company’s my mind It keeps me wide awake I felt my heart collapsing But no one saw it break I hid the hurt where no one goes Then wondered why I felt alone I held the storm inside my palms And called it staying calm [Final Chorus] I’m lonely in a crowded room Agony in my chest You don’t hear me breaking You only see the rest Please, someone see me Before I disappear I was fading in your arms And you never knew I was here [Outro] Did I reach too far? Did I make it strange? Did the room go quiet When I said your name? Now I’m reading faces Like they’re warning signs Smiling through the panic Saying I’m alright Maybe I was too much Maybe I should go Maybe if I say less No one has to know I wasn’t silent I was scared I was reaching But no one was there
