Come Undone

[intro]

[verse]
Another morning - a cracked phone glow
So many roles I fake but never know
For the office work - I'm a polished machine
With my best friends - I'm the sarcastic queen
With him - I try to fit the mold he casts
And the real me? - She's fading pretty fast
I'm spinning plates of expectations, wearing thin
It's hard to see which "me" is really in.

[chorus]
Unraveling, just thread by thread, undone
Caught in-between the battles I've outrun
Am I the echo, the shadow, or the lie -
Or just a girl who can't stop asking why?
Never enough - I'm breaking up inside
No safe space for the truth here to reside
Collapsing quietly, with no dramatic scene -
The static hum of what it could have been.

[verse]
They talk of futures, partners, settled down
I feel a phantom weight, an anxious frown
Is it his hand, or just the thought of touch?
That makes my guarded heart just ache too much
Maybe with her, the air feels light and clear
A softer kind of comfort, banishing my fear
Am I just lost, or who I'm meant to be?
My trauma's labyrinth, or my identity?

[chorus]
Unraveling, just thread by thread, undone
Caught in-between the battles I've outrun
Am I the echo, the shadow, or the lie -
Or just a girl who can't stop asking why?
Never enough - I'm breaking up inside
No safe space for the truth here to reside
Collapsing quietly, with no dramatic scene -
The static hum of what it could have been.

[verse]
A sigh, a frown, a shifted glance, and then
The whispers say, "It's all my fault again."
This "sorry" on my lips - a constant tune
For needing space, for shining 'neath the moon
I bend and break so no one feels displeased
Caught in the currents, trying to appease.
Responsible for feelings, not my own design
I feel like a heavy echo from a distant time.

[bridge]
The city's pulse beats on, but I'm just here
At two AM, the bathroom tiles stark and clear
Reflection wavers, eyes too raw to feign
Watching the 'perfect' girl dissolving in the rain
No public scene, no shattered glass, no shout
Just quiet cracks that let the darkness out
For wanting tenderness, for needing to be found
Before my fragile world just hits the ground.

[chorus]
Unraveling, just thread by thread, undone
Caught in-between the battles I've outrun
Am I the echo, the shadow, or the lie -
Or just a girl who can't stop asking why?
Never enough - I'm breaking up inside
No safe space for the truth here to reside
Collapsing quietly, with no dramatic scene -
The static hum of what it could have been.

[outro]
Just quiet, wanting love...
Just wanting to be seen...
Lost in the spaces - fragile in-between...
Trying to catch my breath... Gasping to be
Before I shatter, disappear completely.
