Lyrics
Verse 1
Lonely in chemistry, why aren't you friends with me?
Smile to my face, as you tear me apart
Swallow my fears, as I brush off my tears
Sit here so silently, why don't they like me
Chorus
I am just a lonely girl, living in this broken world
Won't you talk to me, take this pain from me
Verse 2
I'm just a ghost, do they see through my soul?
Is it the way I look? Is it the way I talk?
Wish that the earth would just swallow me whole
Take me away from this, I'm so tired of this
Bridge
Washing off these tears, maybe it's too much
I don't want to feel anymore
Chorus
I am not the only girl broken by this lonely world
You can talk to me, share your pain with me
I am not the only girl broken by this lonely world
You can talk to me, share your pain with me

hi, it's me.
I've spent the last year writing about the stuff nobody says out loud. Feeling invisible at school. Smiling when you're not okay. Wanting someone to just ask how you are.
I'm not the kid behind the drum kit anymore. These songs are the most honest thing I've made. Listen with the lights off, and tell me which one is yours.
