Lyrics

[Verse 1 – immediate mid-loud pulse, driving guitar + drums already active, vocal enters tense and forward]

I had a journal when I was younger

Kept it under my bed in a drawer

I would write in it when things went bad

Like it was the only place I had

Then one night I opened it angry

Couldn’t stand what was staring back at me

So I started crossing lines through the page

Like I didn’t want anything left in that place

I wrote over names, tore pages out

Scratched words down till they weren’t around

I wasn’t writing stories anymore

I was trying to erase what came before

[Pre-Chorus – tighter rhythm, drums pushing forward]

If I stopped showing up like I always do

Would it even reach you, would you get a clue

Or would I fall out of view

Before I got to you

[Chorus – full band release, loud but controlled]

Would you miss me if I were gone

Or just the space I don’t belong

If I erased myself like back then

Would I just be gone again

Would you miss me if I were gone

Or would your world just carry on

If I crossed myself out like I used to do

Would there still be a trace of me to you

[Verse 2 – driving but slightly stripped rhythm, tension constant]

Now I don’t write things down the same

I stop halfway through my own name

Like if I finish it, it feels too real

So I leave my name half-written on the page

I sit in rooms and don’t say much

Like I learned to quiet my touch

And I don’t know when it started to show

That I’m in the room but not in it though

I don’t cross it out anymore

But I still feel it like before

Like I could vanish without a sound

And nothing would change around

[Pre-Chorus – stronger push, building pressure]

If I stopped replying like I always do

Would it even reach you, would you get a clue

Or would it pass right through

Like I already do

[Chorus – louder, wider, emotional peak]

Would you miss me if I were gone

Or just the space I don’t belong

If I erased myself like back then

Would I just be gone again

Would you miss me if I were gone

Or would your world just carry on

If I crossed myself out like I used to do

Would there still be a trace of me to you

[Bridge – stripped tension, minimal space, controlled restraint]

That diary’s still under my bed

I don’t open it like I did then

Just me trying to disappear inside

And I don’t know if that was me

[Final Chorus – full release, maximum intensity from first line]

WOULD YOU MISS ME IF I WERE GONE

OR AM I JUST A LINE YOU SKIP ALONG

DON’T LOOK AWAY, SAY IT TRUE

DID YOU EVER SEE ME THROUGH
