You look right through me like I’m glass Like I’m just something in your way I speak your name, it never lasts It fades before it hits your space I trace the outline of your face In pictures where you almost smile You used to hold me like a place Now I’m just someone you dial I learned the silence of your voice The way it cuts without a sound You make me feel like I’m a choice You already turned down Chorus I’m right here, but you don’t see me Close enough to feel you breathe I’m breaking quietly, completely Into someone I don’t want to be You hold my heart like it’s nothing Like it’s easy just to leave I’m screaming, but it sounds like nothing When you’re the one I need I count the seconds when you’re near But you’re a thousand miles away You say the words I used to hear But now they’re hollow when you say I bend myself to fit your shape Shrink down to something you might keep But every piece of me you take Is something I don’t get to be I’m disappearing in your hands A ghost you never tried to hold Loving you wasn’t the plan But it’s the only thing I know I’m right here, but you don’t see me Close enough to feel you breathe I’m breaking quietly, completely Into someone I don’t want to be You hold my heart like it’s nothing Like it’s easy just to leave I’m screaming, but it sounds like nothing When you’re the one I need Was I just noise you learned to tune out? A passing thought you don’t recall? I gave you everything I knew how You gave me nothing at all And I still wait where you left me Like you might turn around someday But hope’s just another way to bleed When you’re the one who walked away I’m still here, but you don’t see me Fading into memory I broke myself just to keep you Now there’s nothing left of me If love is this, I don’t want it If you’re love, then set me free ‘Cause I’m dying just to matter To someone who won’t see me
