[Verse 1]
Whole room laughing
I’m at the back wall
Plastic cup sweating in my hand
I just scroll, just scroll
They pass phones
Lean in for the same pose
I’m the one cropped out the frame
Guess that’s how this goes
All these faces
Same inside joke
I fake a chuckle
So it don’t choke
If I left right now
Would anybody notice
Or just wonder
Why the group pic’s the coldest
[Chorus]
Everyone is happy together
But I’m still alone
Standing in a crowd of forever
With nobody to hold
Got a smile on my face like it’s alright
But it cuts to the bone
Everyone is happy together
But I’m still alone
[Verse 2]
I’m the “made it home?” text
That you never send
I’m the plan that you mention
But you don’t attend
I’m the blue dot
On a map of pairs
You talk ‘bout your future
I’m “yeah… I’ll be there”
I wear jokes like armor
Let the punchlines land
‘Cause if I get real
Will you still understand?
Got a playlist full of people
Screaming what I feel
Turn it up so loud
Just to drown out what’s real
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s me
Maybe it’s them
Maybe I’m tired
Of guessing again
[low vocal register]
If I say “I’m lonely”
Will you stay on the line?
Or leave me on read
Like every other time
[crescendo]
Hands in the air
Yeah, they’re singing along
I mouth every word
But it’s not my song
[Chorus]
