Maybe it’s just me

Lately I’ve been stuck inside my head again,

Reading every silence like a message you never sent.

One slow reply and I spiral in my bed,

Convincing myself you’re better off with someone else instead.

I know it’s kinda stupid,

But my brain won’t let it be.

It turns small things into fire,

’Til the smoke is all I see.

Maybe it’s just me…

Overthinking every word you speak.

Scared that you’re annoyed, scared that I’m too weak,

Scared our friendship’s drowning while I barely make a squeak.

Tell me you don’t hate me…

’Cause my mind keeps painting stories in the dark.

But your name still lives soft inside my heart.

I swear I try to act like everything is fine,

But I’m replaying moments, reading between every line.

You laugh a little shorter, you glance a little less,

And suddenly I’m wondering if I’m just a walking mess.

I know I should just ask you,

But I freeze, I overthink.

I drown myself in questions

’Til I’m too afraid to blink.

Maybe it’s just me…

Overthinking every word you speak.

Scared that you’re annoyed, scared that I’m too weak,

Scared our friendship’s fading while I barely make a squeak.

Tell me you don’t hate me…

’Cause my mind keeps painting stories in the dark.

But your name still lives soft inside my heart.

I know I’m sensitive,

But losing you? That’s my biggest fear.

So if you’re still with me,

Say it loud enough to drown the noise I hear.

Maybe it’s just me…

But I hope that you still see a friend in me.

Even if I overthink endlessly,

Even if my heart gets shaky on repeat.

Just tell me you don’t hate me…

And I swear I’ll breathe again tonight—

’Cause all I want is to know we’re still alright.
