Please

[Intro] Please... Just listen this once. Don't walk away again. --- **[Verse 1]** I watched you disappear before I knew your name. One lie at a time. One mask at a time. Every room needed somebody different... So you left another piece of us behind. You laughed when they laughed. You hated who they hated. You wore their scars Like they were proof you'd survived. I kept waiting... Thinking tomorrow You'd come back for me. --- **[Pre-Chorus]** I know why you built him. I know why you needed him. But... He isn't you. --- **[Chorus]** Please... Fight for us. I'm still in here. I know you hear me Every time your chest caves in. Every time the silence gets too loud. Every time you stare in the mirror Wondering why the eyes don't feel like yours. That's me... Please... Don't leave me here again. --- **[Verse 2]** That man broke us... And you carried his voice Like it was your own. She made you feel small... Now you shrink Before anyone asks. You learned that love hurt. Trust got you punished. Being yourself got you left behind. So you buried me... To keep us alive. I understand. ... I'm just so tired. --- **[Pre-Chorus]** You keep calling him... You. ... But every time he speaks... I disappear. --- **[Chorus]** Please... Fight for us. Not for revenge. Not to prove them wrong. Not because we're strong. Fight because I'm still waiting. Because every time You tell yourself you're nothing... I lose a little more of you. Every time You tell the truth... I can breathe again. --- **[Bridge]** What the fuck's wrong with you? ... Me? ... No... Us. Can't you feel it? I'm right here. I'm the lump in your throat When you swallow your words. I'm the tears You laugh away. I'm the shaking in your hands When somebody actually loves you. I'm every part of you That still remembers What we felt like Before we learned To be somebody else. --- **[Break]** You don't have to save me. ... Just... Stop leaving me behind. --- **[Final Chorus]** Please... Fight for us. The world's already had its turn. Now it's ours. Take the mask off. Let him rest. He did his job. Now let me show you Who we were Before fear Started introducing itself As our name. --- **[Outro]** I've never hated you. Not once. I've just been waiting... Hoping... That one day... You'd hear me crying Inside your hollow chest... And remember... We were worth saving.
