[Intro]
Whispers in the room, shadows on the wall,
I stand in the corner, like I don’t belong at all.
A smile when they see me, but it feels so thin,
In this family gathering, I just can’t fit in.
[Verse 1]
Photographs on the mantle, memories that I can’t trace,
Laughter fills the air, but it’s more like a race,
I’m lost in the moments, conversations drift away,
Every heart that’s beating here feels so far away.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say they love me, but I feel out of place,
As if I’m just a ghost in this familiar space.
Trying to connect, but the lines they always break,
A silence wrapped in chaos, so much at stake.
[Chorus]
I’m always feeling off, like a puzzle with no piece,
In this family tapestry, I'm the thread that won’t release.
They pull me close, but still, I wander far,
An outsider in their stories, like a fading star.
[Verse 2]
Dining table set with warmth, but I can’t find my place,
Searching for a sign, but it’s a phantom’s grace.
Every hopeful glance is like a wave in the sea,
Crashing on the shore, but it’s just not meant for me.
[Pre-Chorus]
They say it’s all okay, but I feel the rift it makes,
A longing for acceptance in the silence that it breaks.
Awkward smiles and gestures only amplify the fall,
Feeling like a stranger, is there room for me at all?
[Chorus]
I’m always feeling off, like a puzzle with no piece,
In this family tapestry, I'm the thread that won’t release.
They pull me close, but still, I wander far,
An outsider in their stories, like a fading star.
[Bridge]
But I hold onto dreams of who I could become,
Even when the laughter fades, I know I’m not undone.
Among the tangled roots, I’ll find my own way,
Maybe one day, I’ll bloom, in light of my own day.
[Outro]
So here’s to the journey, the distance I can feel,
In a world of family ties, I’ll learn to heal.
Though I’m always feeling off, trapped in what they see,
I’ll carve out my own space, and finally be free.
