[Verse 1]
Everyone laughing in this room
Group pics, crooked on my phone
I smile, tiny as a thumbnail
Scroll home
Faking like I'm busy with a text
"All good" typed, then I hit delete
Cause truth is, I been talking to the ceiling
Way more than I talk to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my jacket on inside
Like I'm ready just to run
Yeah, they saying "you should come out more"
But I already feel outnumbered by one
[Chorus]
Everyone is happy
But I'm still alone
Whole world in color
And I'm grayscale toned
They hold onto each other
I'm holding my phone
Everyone is happy
But I'm still alone
[Verse 2]
Group chat lighting like fireworks
I go quiet in the smoke
Left on read by my own courage
Every invite feels like a joke
Say, "I'm tired," but I slept all day
Say, "I'm fine," cause it's easy to say
Got a house full of family on Sunday
Still feels three thousand miles away
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my hoodie up inside
Like I'm hiding from the sun
They keep telling me "you’re not alone"
Then why I feel like the missing one
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm the ghost in every photo
Half-smile, halfway out the frame
Maybe I just learned to be the strong one
So nobody asked about the weight
[low vocal register] But I’m so tired of being background
[falsetto] Wanna hear my own name loud
If I break down here in this crowd
Would it finally drown this doubt? (yeah)
[Chorus]
