broken - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I see you every day, but you don’t see me

I’m just a face in the crowd, just a ghost in the scene

You walk by, and I freeze, words stuck in my chest

A million things I could say, but I hold my breath

I ain't tryna play it cool truth is, I don’t know how

Every time I think to speak, I just back out

So I stay in the background, keep my head low

Hoping one day you’ll turn around, but you’ll

Never know

Maybe it’s fate, maybe I’m meant to stay quiet

Maybe I’m just scared of what comes if I try it

Would you laugh? Would you care? Or would you push me away?

Just walk right past like it’s any other day?

I write down the words that I never can say

Let ‘em bleed through the ink, let ‘em bleed

Let ‘em burn on the page, I tell myself

Everyday

And I tell myself, "Man, just let this one slide,"

But my heart’s got a way of ignoring my mind

Every song I write got a piece of your name

Like a puzzle I’m buildin’ but missin’ a frame

Maybe I’m foolish, maybe I should let go

But I wonder if you’ve ever felt lost in the flow

Do you ever feel small when the world feels

So loud?

Do you ever feel trapped in the pull of the crowd?

I see you every day, but you don’t see me

I’m just a face in the crowd, just a ghost in the scene

You walk by, and I freeze, words stuck in my chest

A million things I could say, but I hold my breath
