[Verse 1]
I fold my socks in rows
While plates keep piling high
Everybody talks at once
I stay small, I let it slide
Dad asks, “Why so quiet?”
I say, “I’m fine” again
But I’m a chair in the corner
When the whole room spins
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe in the static
Count tiles on the floor
I’m here, I’m here
Still nobody knows
[Chorus]
I’m the one they miss
When the table’s full
I’m the quiet one
Stuck behind the wall
I’m the one they miss
When they call my name
I’m right in front of them
But I fade the same
[Verse 2]
Sister gets the last word
Brother gets the laugh
My thoughts stay in my throat
Like a note that won’t come back
Mom says, “Speak up, baby”
But the room moves too fast
I wear my face like armor
Still it doesn’t last
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe in the static
Count tiles on the floor
I’m here, I’m here
Still nobody knows
[Chorus]
I’m the one they miss
When the table’s full
I’m the quiet one
Stuck behind the wall
I’m the one they miss
When they call my name
I’m right in front of them
But I fade the same
[Bridge]
If I broke the silence
Would they hear me then?
If I dropped the good-girl mask
Would they look again?
I don’t need a spotlight
Just a hand to hold
Just a little room at home
Before I go cold
[Chorus]
I’m the one they miss
When the table’s full
I’m the quiet one
Stuck behind the wall
I’m the one they miss
When they call my name
I’m right in front of them
But I fade the same
