Invisible

Yeah

I don’t know

I guess I feel like, when I’m around you, that I’m invisible

It’s like, you don’t even see me, and I’m standing right in front of you

Yeah

I feel invisible, I knew this wasn’t easy

I’m standing right in front of you, but you don’t even see me

I pass you in the hallway, but you don’t even glance so

I just kinda walk by like I ain’t never passed you

I do my best to pretend that I don’t notice you

‘Cause you don’t ever notice me, so what am I supposed to do?

What? I gotta yell it in order for you to see it?

I got it written on my face; it’s pretty easy to read it

But you choose not to, so that’s what imma have to do

My heart is getting tired, I’m tired of running after you

I try to talk, but you just keep ignoring me

Pretending that you listen, you don’t listen, you’re destroying me

See I look up to you, but you keep looking down on me

You never say you love me or you care or that you’re proud of me

In other words, you’re drowning me, I get on my knees and I pray

Pretty pathetic, but you make it pretty easy to say

I swear, I must be invisible, ‘cause you never see me, anymore

And I swear, I must look miserable, ‘cause you never hold me, anymore

You like a nightmare, every time I’m dreaming

The longest conversation that we had is when we’re screaming

And what you say? You say there is nothing else to talk about

Before I even say a word, it’s like you’re already walking out

You making promises, but you don't ever keep ‘em

And then look at me stupid when I say I don’t believe them

Yeah, that’s why I don’t believe you, and how do you expect me to

You don’t show respect to me, but I should show respect to you?!

Gosh, you’re such a hypocrite, I doubt you’re even listening

Things have got so bad, you don’t even pretend you’re interested

And every time we hug, which isn’t very often

The thing I used to love has now become something that’s awkward

You put that smile up on your face, but I can tell you’re faking

You look me in the eyes and you tell me I’m amazing

But all your words are wasted, ‘cause I swear that you make it up

And I’m so sick of chasing love, I guess my pace ain't quick enough

I’m full grown now, moved out, I thought it was best

The sad thing is, I doubt you even noticed I left

I quit calling ‘cause you ain’t never answer the phone

And last time we talked, I told you, “leave me alone!”

I’m supposed to open my arms and hold you now?

Hold you?! Wow. You ain’t never held me. How

Do you expect a kid that you never raised to do right-

To break the walls down and make you a part of my life?

But hold up, here comes a call from the hospital

They told me I should come and see you if it’s possible

I got my shoes to go, I through my pride on the floor

I saw a real smile on you when I walked in the door

The doc told me, you ain’t got more than a day

I just got you and this cancer gon’ take you away

You say you love me and you see me, everything’s ok

For some reason I no longer feel the urge to say
