Verse 1
I’ve been staring at my calendar
Like it personally betrayed me
Too many nights, too many “maybe next time”
Too much silence lately
I don’t hate the world, I swear
I just need a softer entry
Someone braver at the doorway
Someone loud enough for plenty
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need a hero
Or a life-of-the-party scene
Just someone who knows the way
When my courage disappears
Chorus
I have decided
I need an emotional support extrovert
Someone who will invite me to things
I’ll go—maybe, if it doesn’t hurt
They’ll talk to all the strangers
I’ll eat the food and pet the dogs
Then we’ll both go home
Feeling like we’ve done something at all
Verse
They’ll say, “Come on, it’ll be fun”
I’ll say, “Okay, but just an hour”
I’ll stand behind their confidence
Like it’s some borrowed superpower
They’ll laugh too loud, shake too many hands
Know exactly what to say
I’ll smile, nod, observe the room
And quietly enjoy the day
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need to be the spotlight
I don’t need to change my skin
I just need someone beside me
Who can pull me gently in
Chorus
I have decided
I need an emotional support extrovert
Someone who will invite me to things
I’ll go—maybe, if it doesn’t hurt
They’ll talk to all the strangers
I’ll eat the food and pet the dogs
Then we’ll both go home
Feeling like we’ve done something at all
Bridge
And maybe that’s enough for now
Not fireworks or being seen
Just showing up in small, brave ways
Living somewhere in between
Final Chorus
I have decided
I don’t have to do this on my own
Let them carry the conversation
I’ll bring the calm and take it slow
They’ll open every doorway
I’ll find the quiet in the noise
Then we’ll both go home
Feeling like we made a choice
Outro
Yeah, we’ll both go home
Feeling like we’ve done something
