Just being there is Enough

[Intro – Soft grunge guitar + ambient hum]  
Sometimes just being quiet is exhausting…  
But I don’t want anyone else to feel like I do.

[Verse 1]  
Even if I want to make everyone happy,  
That’s just the people-pleaser in me trying to take control.  
Or maybe it's that part of me  
that doesn't want others to be sad like I am —  
If I really am sad inside.

Everyone likes different things.  
I try to keep up, but it’s draining.  
I’m always with the same group now,  
and I’ve grown distant from others.  
Back then, I had so many people around —  
but that was overwhelming too.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Now I barely have time for anyone.  
I feel like a bad friend.  
But I still miss it —  
just lying around together in Discord voice calls.  
Even just hearing someone’s voice was enough.

[Chorus]  
I don’t need you to understand everything.  
I just want you to know that I’m trying.  
I just… still want to be there.  
I don’t have to be the funny one,  
don’t need to be the best.  
I just wish someone would say:  
“You don’t have to make everyone smile.”

[Break – Soft FX]  
I don’t sleep in calls with everyone anymore…  
but I still miss those nights.

[Verse 2]  
Tired of choosing sides.  
Wherever I go, I feel guilty.  
I’m like background noise everywhere I go,  
but I can’t even hear my own heart.

And when I try to be alone,  
I feel unbearably lonely.  
I miss people’s voices —  
even virtually sleeping next to someone  
felt safer than real life.

[Pre-Chorus]  
I know I’m not the best friend.  
But sometimes I just want someone to say:  
“Thanks for being here,”  
even if I didn’t say much at all.

[Chorus – Refrain]  
I don’t need you to understand everything.  
I just want you to know that I’m trying.  
I just… still want to be there.  
I don’t have to be the funny one,  
don’t need to be the best.  
I just wish someone would say:  
“You don’t have to make everyone smile.”

[Bridge]  
Sometimes just having your mic on,  
or being quiet in the call,  
makes me feel a little less alone.

[Outro]  
I don’t need to do anything at all.  
Just being there…  
is enough.
