[Verse 1]
I know how to make it through a day
Without anybody seeing it
How to laugh at the right moments
And disappear inside of it
I know how to answer every question
Without saying what's true
'Cause nobody wants the honest version
Of what I'm going through
Somewhere between being needed
And trying not to let people down
I became a stranger
In a life that still looks like mine
[Pre-Chorus]
And everybody says
"You're doing so well"
But nobody asks
If I can tell
[Chorus]
I think I died a little while ago
Not my body
Just the part that used to hope
The part that dreamed
The part that felt
The part that knew itself
Now I'm just keeping promises
To people I can't leave alone
Everybody thinks I'm living
But I'm only staying
Because they need me not to be gone
[Verse 2]
I don't remember the last time
I wanted something for myself
Every goal became survival
Every prayer stayed on the shelf
I keep showing up
To a life that doesn't feel like mine
Like an actor who forgot the story
But still remembers every line
And maybe that's the cruelest part
Nothing looks wrong from the outside
[Pre-Chorus]
So they celebrate
The fact I'm still here
While I wonder
Where I disappeared
[Chorus]
I think I died a little while ago
Not my body
Just the part that used to hope
The part that dreamed
The part that felt
The part that knew itself
Now I'm just keeping promises
To people I can't leave alone
Everybody thinks I'm living
But I'm only staying
Because they need me
(Need me )
[Bridge]
If I vanished inside myself
Would anyone know the difference?
If I stopped carrying everyone
Would I finally feel the weight of me?
I've spent so long
Being what everybody needed
I don't know if there's anything left
When nobody's looking
[Final Chorus]
I think I died a little while ago
Not my body
Just the part that used to hope
The part that dreamed
The part that felt
The part that knew itself
Now I'm just keeping promises
To people I can't leave alone
Everybody thinks I'm living
But I'm only staying
Because they need me
(Need me )
Need me
Need me not to be gone
