I step outside and the world gets loud
Like every sound is a moving crowd
I try to breathe but it gets tight
When too many faces hit my sight
My mind starts running before I speak
Words get heavy, my voice gets weak
I swear they’re watching, even when they’re not
And I forget everything I’ve got
Pre-Chorus
I tell myself “you’re okay, you’re fine”
But my heartbeat doesn’t listen to my mind
Chorus
When there’s too many eyes, I disappear
My thoughts get tangled, my vision unclear
I’m right in the room but I feel so small
Like I don’t belong here at all
But I’m learning slowly, day by day
Not every stare is meant my way
It’s just my fear turning up the noise
When I’m surrounded by too many voices
Verse 2
I overthink every little move
Like how I stand, or what I do
Did I look weird? Did I say too much?
Now I can’t even feel my touch
I want to stay, I want to be
But my anxiety don’t set me free
It pulls me back when I try to grow
And makes me doubt what I already know
Pre-Chorus
But I’m still here, even in this storm
Learning I don’t have to feel “normal” to be warm
Chorus
When there’s too many eyes, I disappear
My thoughts get tangled, my vision unclear
I’m right in the room but I feel so small
Like I don’t belong here at all
But I’m learning slowly, day by day
Not every stare is meant my way
It’s just my fear turning up the noise
When I’m surrounded by too many voices
Bridge
Maybe I don’t have to fight it all
Maybe I can breathe through the fall
One deep breath, then another again
I don’t have to pretend
And if my hands shake, that’s alright
I’m still learning how to stay in the light
Not every moment will feel this way
It always fades, it always sways
Final Chorus
When there’s too many eyes, I’ll still be here
Even if my thoughts aren’t clear
I’m more than the fear that tries to control
I’m more than the places I lose my soul
I’m learning slowly, day by day
Not every stare is meant my way
It’s just my fear turning up the noise
When I’m surrounded by too many voices
