WHO REALLY CARES*

Verse 1

They say “how you doing?”

But they don’t wait for the answer

They just want reassurance

That I’m still their standard

I built a name out of noise

Now I’m craving the quiet

I don’t know who’s real

And who just likes the excitement

I used to want attention

Now I want escape

Funny how the dream

Turns into something you outgrow

Chorus

Who really cares when I’m not trending?

Who stays when the story ends?

If I stop being impressive

Do I still have friends?

Verse 2

I remember being broke

Wishing someone would notice

Now I’m known by strangers

But ignored by the closest

They say “you’re doing amazing”

But never ask how I feel

They celebrate the image

Not the person that’s real

I became what they wanted

And forgot who I was

Now I’m famous for something

But I’m lost as myself

Bridge

If the world stops clapping

Would I still stand tall?

Or did I build my confidence

On approval and applause?

Chorus (Repeat)

Outro

So if they ask me who I am now

I won’t say the name you see

I’ll say I’m just someone

Trying to remember me.
