I'm losing track of the days again
searching for something to say to them, something benign
I've been feeling so invisible lately
do they know I'm still here, do they hate me?
and I just looked at my phone again
desperately trying to hold it in, biting my tongue
'til it bleeds, I just need to be noticed
could you spare just a piece of a moment
3AM still no response
feel ashamed to even want
wondering where have you gone
and I'm dying just to know what you are thinking
but I know the consequences won't be minor if I ask
if I don't know then I can just keep on pretending that it's fine
if I inquire there's no way to take it back, another panic attack
another looming catastrophe I don't know how to act.
line my chest with bubble wrap to try and keep it intact
maybe I just need a little more time to redefine
but do you want it like I do?

sorry I keep flinching
but I'm really not used to this
it's all new and
old habits die hard I guess
this is usually the part where
someone tells me
they don't want me around
leave it to you to break the pattern
make me feel like my feelings matter
it's gonna hurt but not as much as the feeling that
time is running out
wake another day and put the past behind you
tell me to forget it but I'm not inclined to
pray nobody ever has to feel like I do
but at least we didn't ever leave the truth unspoken
petty consolation, leave the future open
what's it gonna take for me to not be broken
sorry that I'm like this
I'm just waiting for the trauma response to hit
didn't mean to make this your problem
you didn't sign up for the things it comes with
Sorry that I'm like this
the least I can do is stay silent
fade into the background
'til you decide if you want me around

somebody's gotta say something
don't they?
got everyone asking
will they or won't they?
but neither will bare their heart
until it's too much
what would you say
if I asked for a kiss?
would you send me on home
or write poems on my lips?
better watch out for the sparks
when they finally touch
tonight is the night
see your name up in lights
shrug off the problems
with speakers and mics
the world's gonna know your name
let me get out of your way
stand, take a bow, brought the house to the ground
curtains are drawn but I'm sticking around
desperately don't wanna go
then you ask me to stay
show me again all the things that you made
pieces of you organized and displayed
maybe one day you'll make me a piece of my own
you give me a glance and I'm floating again
slowly beginning to let someone in
no place has ever felt this much like home
and I don't care what we are
just don't let us drift apart
I really don't know if I can bear
to watch from afar
and I don't care what we do
if I can stand next to you
just tell me that things will be alright
and make it the truth
if I see you again would you still hold my hand
no expectations, no labels or plans
making it up as we go has always been our brand
