[Verse 1]
I lay in my bed… the same as last night
Phone in my hand, no messages in sight
Not even a “hey,” not even a lie
Just silence that feels like a slow goodbye
I scroll through names I’d die for cold
But none of them check if I’m growing old
They laugh, they post, they live their days
While I disappear in quiet ways
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I always text first. I always care.
But when I go quiet, no one's there.
I’m the background friend. The afterthought.
The one they reach for… when they forgot.
---
[Chorus]
If I don’t reach out… would they even know?
Would my absence echo, or just let go?
If I stopped breathing in this darkened room,
Would anyone feel that kind of doom?
I don’t want fame. I don’t want light.
I just want someone to ask if I’m alright.
But every time I stop, the silence stays…
And no one even looks my way.
---
[Verse 2]
I’ve smiled at people while falling apart
Held in the screams deep in my heart
I’ve sent love that no one sends back
And kept breaking under all I lack
I’ve celebrated them from far outside
But no one’s stood here on my side
They post “check on your friends” and go
Right past the signs I never show
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve typed “I’m not okay” then hit delete
Because being real feels like defeat
No one stays when I need most
I’m just a heartbeat next to a ghost
---
[Final Chorus – Slower, painful, devastating]
If I don’t reach out… would they feel the hole?
Or would my memory never unfold?
If I go silent, would they call my name?
Or just move on, all the same?
I’m not asking for the world, just a soul
To love me when I lose control
But when I fade, when I don’t try…
No one sees.
No one cries.
---
[Outro – Whispered, like a final breath]
So I lay in my room, phone to my chest
Wondering if anyone cares I exist
And in the silence, the truth comes clear…
They were never really here.
