lyrics

I never really wanted to be seen
I never really wanted to be heard
‘Cause I’m afraid they’ll see what’s underneath, Oh I
I’m afraid they’ll see all of my hurt

I’m not okay
Though I pretend to be
‘Cause I was never really comfortable
With my vulnerabilities

I just wanna fade into the background
I’ll be the flower on the wall
I don’t know what happens if I pull the mask down
Would anybody even hear me if I called?

They always told me I was strong
I’m silenced by the courage they perceive
I don’t know how much longer I can keep the facade up
I feel like I’m bursting at the seams

I don’t wanna fade into the background
I can’t be the flower on the wall
But I don’t know what happens if I pull the mask down
Would anybody even hear me if I called?

This mask is starting to weigh me down
My heart is racing, my heart is pounding
My thoughts are all drowned out
Can’t keep hiding, but
I wish someone could seek me out

I’m getting lost in the background
I’m fading right into the wall
If I had a ladder maybe I could climb out
Could you help me find the first rung?
