Lyrics

She sits alone in the hallway,
Hiding under the sound of shoes,
Their laughter cuts like glass again,
But she just turns another page of truth.
She dreams in quiet colors,
In stories no one reads,
Her world is made of paper hearts,
And tears that no one sees.
They call her weird, they call her ghost,
They’ll never know what hurts the most.
They don’t see me, but my books do,
Every word feels something true.
They talk loud, I stay still,
Reading’s the only place I heal.
And maybe I’m strange, maybe I’m lost,
But these stories know my scars.
They laugh at me for reading books...
But I read to survive.
She hides inside her locker light,
With paper stars and quotes that fight,
They never ask what’s in her eyes,
Only what she’s trying to hide.
And every whisper feels like pain,
But every chapter says her name.
They push her down, she doesn’t scream,
She bleeds between her broken dreams.
They don’t see me, but my books do,
Every word feels something true.
They talk loud, I stay still,
Reading’s the only place I heal.
And maybe I’m strange, maybe I’m lost,
But these stories know my scars.
They laugh at me for reading books...
But I read to survive.
When the world gets too loud,
I turn another page.
When the night gets too dark,
The words still stay.
If I disappear, if I fade away,
At least my books will remember my name.
They don’t see me, but my books do,
Every word feels something true.
And maybe someday they’ll read me too…
And see I was real.
Just a girl with too many books—
And too much heart to feel.
