[Verse 1]
There’s a stranger at the table
Laugh like it’s always been here
I pass the salt
Pass up my story
Fold my questions with the silverware
I used to be their quiet anchor
Now I’m drifting past their eyes
Every joke lands somewhere over me
I’m the echo in their lives
[Chorus]
Who am I now
If I’m not the one who holds it all together
If I’m just a shadow pressed
Against the wallpaper
Even more invisible
Than I ever was before
Who am I now
If I’m not what they were leaning on me for
[Verse 2]
Photos on the refrigerator
My space shrinking to a corner frame
They say they’ve never felt this happy
Funny how that sounds like blame
I was the first to learn their language
Spelled my worth in staying strong
Now I’m speaking in erased lines
Every word comes out wrong
[Chorus]
Who am I now
If I’m not the one who holds it all together
If I’m just a shadow pressed
Against the wallpaper
Even more invisible
Than I ever was before
Who am I now
If I’m not what they were leaning on me for
[Bridge]
Did I build this careful cage
Out of being what they’d need
Held my heart behind my back
So their hands felt free
If I let these fingers loosen
Let the pieces hit the floor
Maybe I’ll find someone softer
Someone I’ve been hiding for
[Chorus]
Who am I now
If I’m not the one who holds it all together
If I’m more than just a ghost
In the family portrait’s corner
Even when I feel
Like I’m disappearing at the door
Who am I now
Maybe I’m becoming someone
I was never allowed before
