What About Me?

(Verse 1)

I stayed up ‘til three just to get you to bed

Shaking your shoulder, but you snapped instead

I hold my breath just to give you some space

Like I’m the intruder in my own damn place

(Pre-Chorus)

You say you can’t find a minute to breathe

But I’m drowning, and you don’t see me

(Chorus)

What about me?

Why doesn’t anyone care if I bleed?

I tiptoe through landmines, hold back my needs

While you chase your peace, I’m breaking in pieces

But what about me?

(Verse 2)

I wait for a sign that we’re still okay

Like maybe your hands might pull me to stay

But silence cuts deeper than words ever could

And I fold myself smaller so I’m understood

(Pre-Chorus)

You say you can’t find a minute to breathe

But I’m screaming, and you don’t see me

(Chorus)

What about me?

Why doesn’t anyone care if I bleed?

I tiptoe through landmines, hold back my needs

While you chase your peace, I’m breaking in pieces

But what about me?

(Bridge)

Am I just a ghost moving through these walls?

Would you even notice if I was gone at all?

I’ve been holding you up, but I’m crumbling down

Who’s gonna catch me before I hit the ground?

(Final Chorus)

What about me?

Why doesn’t anyone care if I bleed?

I tiptoe through landmines, hold back my needs

While you chase your peace, I’m breaking in pieces

But what about me?
