[Verse 1]
The screen shows seen, but the words don't come
I’m waiting on a pulse, feeling so numb
They say they’re busy, say they need some space
But it's just another ghosting in this lonely place
[Chorus]
Why am I the one who’s always left behind?
The exit door is swinging in their mind
My father walked out when the lights were low
Even my enemies have somewhere else to go
Family forgets that I draw breath today
I give them everything, then they turn away
[Verse 2]
I’m a map of all the people I have lost
Counting up the hollow, heavy cost
I tried to hold the pieces, keep the fire bright
But everyone’s a shadow vanishing by night
[Chorus]
Why am I the one who’s always left behind?
The exit door is swinging in their mind
My father walked out when the lights were low
Even my enemies have somewhere else to go
Family forgets that I draw breath today
I give them everything, then they turn away
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the anchor, or maybe I’m the weight
Holding onto memories that have sealed my fate
I’m tired of the waiting, tired of the fray
Just to be the one who’s left, left, left away
[Outro]
Yeah, I gave them everything I had
Left with nothing, just the bad
Always left behind...
Always left behind.
