[Verse 1]
I walk in slow
Some kind of buzz and Open dors
Laughter leaking out the walls
But not a single face looks up
I’m not a shadow
My coat still dripping from the rain
I clear my throat
I shift my weight
Their stories circle
Miss my name
[Chorus]
Can’t you see me?
I’m right here breathing in your air
Can’t you see me?
Hands in my pockets
Pulling at the tear
In this cheap black sweater
Holding myself together
Can’t you see me?
Or am I made of glass to you?
[Verse 2]
Someone tells a joke
A girl throws back her head and shines
I raise my glass
A half-tilt toast
To the empty space between our lives
I’m not that quiet
My pulse is pounding in my ears
I practice sentences like prayers
But every open mouth steers clear
[Chorus]
Can’t you see me?
I’m right here breathing in your air
Can’t you see me?
Hands in my pockets
Pulling at the tear
In this cheap black sweater
Holding myself together
Can’t you see me?
Or am I made of glass to you?
[Bridge]
If I screamed your name
Would the candles even shake?
If I disappeared
Who would feel the missing weight?
Tell me
Tell me
Is there something wrong with me
Or something wrong with what you see?
[Chorus]
Can’t you see me?
I’m right here breathing in your air
Can’t you see me?
Trying to matter
Standing in this chair (hey)
In this cheap black sweater
Stitched my heart in every letter
Can’t you see me?
Or am I transparent to you?
[Outro]
I leave the room
Door clicks soft
No heads turn
Can’t you see me?
I guess I finally learned
