I was right there, but you walked right past

Guess I was just another kid in your class

Said my name once, then let it fade

Like I never even had a place

Tried to talk, but you never replied

Left me on read, didn't even say why

Guess I was nothing, just air in the room

Like a song you skip, never play through

Was I just another face, just a passing thought?

Like I didn't even matter, like I meant a lot

For a second, then gone, just erased

Now my words won't go to waste

I was invisible, till I made you look

Now my name's in every hook

You ignored me like I was no one

Now I'm the voice that you can't outrun (yeah!)

It's funny how the tables turned

Used to be quiet, now my name gets heard

You can keep actin' like you don't care

But I know you notice when my songs are everywhere

Was I just another face, just a passing thought?

Like I didn't even matter, like I meant a lot

For a second, then gone, just erased

Now my words won't go to waste

I was invisible, till I made you look

Now my name's in every hook

You ignored me like I was no one

Now I'm the voice that you can't outrun

Bet you hear me now, when the speakers play (will you hear me now, when the speakers play? When the speakers play)

Bet you wonder why, I walked away (will you wonder why, why I walked away? Walked away, walked away, it's up)

Too late now, I'm on my way (is it too late now, am I on my way? It's up, it's up)

Turning all that pain into songs that stay (am I turning all that pain, into songs that stay? TB)

I was right there, but you walked right past

Now I'm the one that's gonna last

You looked through me like I wasn't real

Now every song, make sure you feel bad

Was I just another face, just a passing thought?

Like I didn't even matter, like I meant a lot

For a second, then gone, just erased

Now my words won't go to waste

I was invisible, till I made you look

Now my name's in every hook

You ignored me like I was no one

Now I'm the voice that you can't outrun

Just a passing thought
