Everybody's Busy

Phone full of contacts, nobody to call,

Funny how the loudest rooms can make you feel small,

Got people around me but they stare through the wall,

Everybody got a life, I just don’t fit at all.

Work all day, gym at night, same routine,

Chasin’ better days but they stay outta reach,

Got goals in my head that nobody can see,

And a hundred conversations that don’t mean a thing.

Everybody’s busy, everybody’s gone,

Everybody got somebody when the night’s too long,

I’m just watchin’ headlights fade into the dark,

Tryna keep a little hope inside a tired heart.

Everybody’s laughin’, everybody’s fine,

At least that’s what it looks like online,

Maybe I’m not broken, maybe I’m just alone,

Maybe some nights hurt more when you’re on your own.

I ain’t missin’ a person, I’m missin’ a feeling,

Missin’ when life felt simple, missin’ the meaning,

Missin’ havin’ somebody who cared how I’m breathin’,

Instead of everybody only showin’ up and leavin’.

Got dreams bigger than this little town I’m in,

But some nights all I hear is the silence again,

And I know I’m still young, got a life to begin,

Just wish I had somebody beside me to win.

Maybe somebody out there feels the same tonight,

Lookin’ at the ceiling while the world’s outside,

Wonderin’ if anybody notices the fight,

Behind the fake smiles and the “yeah, I’m alright.”

Used to think I’d find my place somewhere along the way,

Now I’m watchin’ seasons change, still feel the same today,

Got a smile for the world, keep the hurt tucked away,

Ain’t nobody really askin’, so I never say.

I’ve been buildin’ up my life, stackin’ brick by brick,

Tryna be somebody strong when the nights get thick,

But even strong people break, that’s the truth of it,

Sometimes all you really need is someone who won’t quit.

Maybe that’s the part of me that nobody can see,

The side that stays awake while the whole world sleeps,

The side that wants connection more than money or dreams,

‘Cause success don’t mean much if there’s nobody to keep.

So I’ll keep movin’ forward, keep my head held high,

Even when I’m feelin’ lost underneath the sky,

And maybe one day somebody’ll look me in the eyes,

And remind me I was never meant to do this life alone.

Everybody’s busy, everybody’s gone,

Everybody got somebody when the night’s too long,

I’m just watchin’ headlights fade into the dark,

Tryna keep a little hope inside a tired heart.

Everybody’s laughin’, everybody’s fine,

At least that’s what it looks like online,

Maybe I’m not broken, maybe I’m just alone,

Maybe some nights hurt more when you’re on your own.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll feel okay…

Maybe tomorrow somebody stays…

Maybe tomorrow ain’t so far away…

mmm… mmm…
