Better Off Without Me

(Verse 1)
What if everyone I know
Would be better off without me?
What if I just disappeared a while,
Let the quiet do the healing?
Maybe things would run smoother,
Maybe I’m the weight they bear.
I never say it out loud,
But it hangs there.

(Pre-Chorus 1)
It’s not a scream,
It’s a whisper in my head,
Telling me I take too much space
Just by existing.

(Chorus)
What if everyone I love
Would be happier without me in their life?
What if I don’t belong anywhere,
Just filling time?
I feel invisible anyway,
Like I fade in plain sight.
Like no one would miss me
If I slipped out of their life.

(Verse 2)
I watch the world keep spinning
Even when I pull away.
I count the hours I go quiet,
Then blame myself for staying.
I’m always asking if I matter
Or if I’m background noise.
Like I’m easy to forget
When I don’t make a choice.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
And I know this voice gets louder
When I’m tired and worn thin.
It only shows up late at night
When I’m fighting everything.

(Chorus)
What if everyone I know
Would be better off without me?
What if I just step back a bit,
Let them breathe more easily?
I don’t feel like I belong anywhere,
Like I’m optional at best.
Like no one would notice
If I loved them less.

(Bridge)
Maybe this isn’t truth,
Maybe it’s exhaustion talking.
Maybe I’m not unwanted —
Just overwhelmed and hurting.
Maybe the feeling of “not fitting”
Isn’t proof that I don’t belong.
Maybe it’s a sign
I’ve been strong for too long.

(Chorus)
What if everyone I love
Would be happier without me in their life?
Or what if that’s just the doubt
Trying to rewrite my mind?
I still feel invisible sometimes,
Still feel out of place —
But feeling like I don’t matter
Doesn’t mean I don’t.

(Outro)
So if I go quiet for a while,
It’s not the end — it’s rest.
I’m still here,
Even when my thoughts say less.
