(Verse 1) You call when the sky starts falling And I pick up, like I always do Say the right things, keep you talking Like I’ve got nothing else to lose And I don’t mind, not really I’ve got space where no one looks I’ve learned to hide things neatly Between the lines and in the hooks (Chorus) People like me don’t have people We’re the ones you lean on, late at night We say we’re fine, and you believe it Oh, 'cause we’re too tired to fight We’re good at staying quiet when we’re breaking We hold your world and never ask for keeping Ah, people like me… We don’t have people Not really Aaah, Aaah, Aah (Verse 2) I’ve had friends who called me family And lovers who swore they’d stay But I’ve watched them build their futures Out of pieces I gave away And I get it, I do, I promise I’m easy to lean on, hard to need I’m the hand that helps you climb Not the one you think to keep (Chorus) People like me don’t have people We’re the ones who stay when others leave Oh, we light the dark, and no one notices How dim it gets for me We laugh and nod and say it's nothing And most times that’s all it ever needs to be Ah, people like me… We don’t have people Not really Aaah, Aaah, Aah (Bridge) Some nights I talk to the ceiling Just to hear something talk back It doesn’t heal, but it’s honest And that’s more than I’ve had (Final Chorus – soft) People like me don’t have people Not the kind who stay to see it through Oh, but we keep the door wide open Even when we know the truth And if we fall, it’s somewhere quiet In a silence we’ve grown used to Ah, people like me… We don’t have people Not really Aaah, Aaah, Aah (Outro) Aaah, Aaah, Aah Oh, Not really
