歌詞

Uploading tracks in the dead of night

Blurry-eyed, staring at the screen's pale light

A few more "likes," and a sudden thrill

A pathetic joy that I can’t quite kill

I don't know who heard it all the way through

But I'm shaking, imagining you, on the other side of the ear

Wishing the distance would just disappear

Who is this song for? Who does it serve?

Is it for you? Does it have the nerve?

It sounds so cool, when I say it like that

Like I’ve got it all down, and I’m where I’m at

Who is this song for? Maybe it's mine

Just a selfish heart trying to make it shine

One round of applause, just one little sign

And I'm back in the booth, crossing the line

Writing these songs for the sake of the crowd

Pretending to heal, speaking so loud

But way in the back, hidden in the rhyme

I'm begging for help, one word at a time

Listing the right things, feeling so pure

Like a saint in the making, I’ve found the cure

Drowning in the feeling, playing the part

A hollow hero with a desperate heart

For the peace of the world, for the future we see

For someone in need, for a better decree

Kind melodies, words meant to mend

A mask of a hero, on whom they depend

If I'm being honest, I just want the praise

I'm terrified of fading into the haze

When it all comes down, at the end of the flame

It was always for me, I’m the one to blame

Who cares who it’s for? Let it be for me!

Let it be selfish, let it just be

I sing cause I have to, that’s all I know

That’s all it takes for the music to grow

And before I knew it, someone smiled too

A night where I laughed, seeing it through

I don't know why, but I’ll keep on singing

Even if there’s no applause, still ringing

I’ll keep on singing
