Invisible

Verse 1 Am I transparent? No, you can’t treat me like a fool I may see through it all But I still get pushed aside by you I’m standing in the middle Of conversations every day But somehow people look past me Like I slowly fade away Pre-Chorus Every time I start to speak Somebody cuts me off again Like my thoughts don’t carry weight Like I’m less than all of them Chorus I feel invisible Like I’m not even there People talk right over me Like I’m just air They dismiss me The second somebody else walks in I’m always second fiddle In a room I should fit in I feel invisible In crowds and crowded rooms Surrounded by a hundred voices Still swallowed by the noise Verse 2 I’m the one that always listens While everybody else gets heard And I’m tired of being overlooked Like my voice don’t matter a word People only seem to notice When they need something from me Then it’s back into the background Like I’m too small to see Pre-Chorus Funny how you can feel lonely Standing shoulder to shoulder And every year that feeling grows A little heavier, a little colder Chorus I feel invisible Like I’m not even there People talk right over me Like I’m just air They dismiss me The second somebody else walks in I’m always second fiddle In a room I should fit in Bridge Maybe I got too comfortable Playing shadows on the wall Being everybody’s safety net Never needing much at all But even quiet people break When nobody ever sees That behind the calm expression There’s somebody begging to breathe Final Chorus I feel invisible But I won’t disappear tonight I’m done shrinking down for people Just to keep the peace alright If the world keeps looking past me That says more on them than me Because invisible ain’t empty And silence ain’t weak
