(Verse 1 — conversational, slightly tired)
I’ve been answering questions
I didn’t ask for today
Different faces, same pressure
Just phrased a different way
Every answer I give
Feels like I’ve said it before
Like I’m stuck in a hallway
With a hundred open doors
⸻
(Pre-Chorus — realization creeping in)
And I don’t think they mean it
But they keep taking their share
Of whatever’s left of me
Like I’m already there
⸻
(Chorus — simple, human, original phrasing)
I’m spread thin
Pulled in every direction
Every little piece of me
Out on loan
And I’m still here talking
But I’m losing connection
Like I’m answering questions
On my own
⸻
(Verse 2 — more internal, signal breaking)
Someone’s waiting on answers
Someone’s calling my name
Someone needs me to fix it
Like I’m built for the strain
I can hear what they’re saying
But it’s not sinking in
Like the signal is fading
Somewhere under my skin
⸻
(Pre-Chorus 2 — more honest)
And I keep trying to hold it
Keep it steady, keep it clean
But I’m losing the outline
Of what I used to be
⸻
(Chorus — slightly fuller, still restrained)
I’m spread thin
Pulled in every direction
Every little piece of me
Out on loan
And I’m still here talking
But I’m losing connection
Like I’m answering questions
On my own
⸻
(Bridge — your quiet punch)
It’s not that I’m breaking
It’s not that I’m gone
I’m just stretched in directions
I don’t belong
⸻
(Final Chorus — small variation, more worn)
I’m spread thin
Trying hard to hold tension
Every little piece of me
Overthrown
And I’m still here talking
But I’ve lost my reflection
Like I’m answering questions
No one owns
