[Verse 1] (tone: bitter, sarcastic) I used to think there was a mark on me Something wrong that the world could see Like I was born with a warning sign “Keep your distance, she’ll be fine” The cousins laughed, the cameras flashed Family memories moving fast Birthday cakes and matching clothes Guess nobody thought I’d notice though ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] (tone: building) You called me strong You called me brave Funny how those words Excused the help you never gave ⸻ [Chorus] (tone: huge, angry anthem) Nobody picked me Nobody stayed Nobody noticed The price I paid You had your parties You had your plans I learned survival With my own two hands Nobody picked me But look who’s here You left me behind I disappeared Then reappeared Stronger than your fear Nobody picked me But I’m still here ⸻ [Verse 2] (tone: sharper) Holiday tables, whispered jokes Everybody acting like they didn’t know Mom was gone Dad was drowning too But somehow that became our issue Family photos, vacations, trips We got forgotten in the edits Not because we weren’t around You just liked us better watered down ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] (tone: angry) You saw the smoke You saw the flames Then acted shocked When the kids were changed ⸻ [Chorus] (tone: bigger) Nobody picked me Nobody tried Everybody watched From the safer side You had excuses I had scars You got comfort I got survival Nobody picked me But here’s the twist You don’t get credit For who I became from this ⸻ [Bridge] (tone: furious truth) Let’s be honest Since nobody was then You called us resilient Because it sounded better than abandoned You called us strong Because it sounded nicer than alone You praised the bridge After watching it build itself from stone ⸻ [Breakdown] (tone: raw) We weren’t broken We weren’t cursed We were children And you looked away first ⸻ [Final Chorus] (tone: explosive victory) Nobody picked me Nobody came Nobody rescued me Nobody changed But I’m still breathing Still writing songs Still standing tall After all that’s gone Nobody picked me But I picked me And that’s the part You’ll never take from me You left me behind You let me disappear But look at me now I’m still here ⸻ [Outro] (tone: powerful) Not chosen. Not invited. Not rescued. Not held. Still here. Anyway
