Lyric

Laughter echoes in the crowded room

I nod along, but don’t say a word

Their eyes are asking, "You get it, right?"

But my heart is nowhere in sight

On my story, I’m always smiling

But inside, I’m barely trying

I just wanna ask someone

"Can you see me? Am I here?"

Fake smiles, fake words, fake me

Who am I even laughing for?

Can’t breathe, can’t speak, can’t leave

I feel like I’m fading away

Just wanna hear a real voice for once

Surrounded, yet I’m still alone

The more I try, the more I’m worn

"You okay?" they ask with a gentle tone

"Yeah, I’m fine." (But I’m not, you know?)

We’re connected, but feel so distant

Lost myself in this existence

Wanna say, "I’m right here!"

But my voice disappears

Fake smiles, fake words, fake me

Who am I even laughing for?

Can’t breathe, can’t speak, can’t leave

I feel like I’m fading away

Just wanna hear a real voice for once

If I disappeared from this world

Would someone even notice me?

But I’m still here, I won’t hide

I wanna live as who I really am

Fake smiles, fake words, fake me

No more hiding behind the lies

Can’t breathe, can’t speak, can’t leave

But I know that I can change

So tell me now a real voice still remains

No more hiding, no more running

Can I be me just as I am?
