[Intro]
The hallway hums behind the wall
I count the cracks so I don't fall
[Verse 1]
My backpack's heavy on one shoulder
The classroom clock keeps getting colder
They trade their jokes above my head
I keep the words I should have said
[Pre-Chorus]
I drew a door beside my bed
But every handle turns to red
[Chorus]
Can somebody hear me through the noise?
I’m still a person, I’m still a voice
The room gets bigger, I get small
Please don’t let me disappear at all
[Verse 2]
Mom says tomorrow might be better
Dad leaves notes without a letter
The kitchen chair is always pulled
The quiet makes the house feel full
[Pre-Chorus]
I fold my fear beneath my sleeve
And practice things I can’t believe
[Chorus]
Can somebody hear me through the noise?
I’m still a person, I’m still a voice
The room gets bigger, I get small
Please don’t let me disappear at all
[Bridge]
I don’t need a perfect answer
I need a hand that doesn’t let go
Sit beside me in the hallway
Tell me I’m allowed to say no
[Breakdown]
Too loud
Too close
Too much
I know
[Final Chorus]
Somebody heard me through the noise
Somebody stayed beside my voice
The room is shrinking, I can breathe
There’s still a little space for me
[Outro]
The hallway hums, but I stand tall
I count the cracks—and don’t fall
