(Verse 1) They’re laughing in the park again I see it through my windowpane Like I’m stuck in still-frame silence And no one even knows my name They say “you’re strong, you’ll be okay” But they weren’t there that February day When the world lost color, when you left And everything I loved just slipped away (Pre-Chorus) Now every smile feels like a lie And every night, I ask God why Did I do something to deserve This heavy weight, this aching hurt? (Chorus) 'Cause I’m just here, and they’re all flying past me Living like the world’s a movie, but I’m not in the scene I scream inside, but it comes out quietly I just want someone to see what’s underneath To hold my hand and mean it To love me without leaving But everyone I needed Left me when I couldn’t breathe in (Verse 2) I try to laugh, I try to speak But no one hears a thing from me They only see the mask I wear Not the heart that’s barely beating there I miss her voice, I miss her light And I still cry most every night But if I say it, they look away Like pain's not something I can say (Pre-Chorus) I’m not as fine as they all think I’m on the edge, about to sink I don’t want pity, just a sign That someone sees this hurt of mine (Chorus) 'Cause I’m just here, and they’re all flying past me Living like the world’s a party, but I’m lost in between I scream inside, but it comes out quietly I just want someone to sit with me and mean it To hold my hand and feel it To love me without reason But everyone I needed Left me when I couldn’t breathe in (Bridge – soft and broken) If love was real, then where’d it go? Why’d it leave me all alone? I’d give the world just to feel Like I belong, like this is real (Final Chorus – stripped, piano only) I’m still here, but they keep flying past me All I want is someone who would ask me “Are you okay?” and mean it from the heart Not just words to play the part 'Cause I don’t need a thousand friends Just one who stays until the end
