Lyrics

I leave my coat beside the door
And wear the face they came to see
A practiced laugh, a little warmth
Enough to keep their eyes off me
Someone says I seem so well
I thank them like they got it right
And let the conversation move
Before it touches where I hide
I learned to make the damage small
Enough to hide inside a joke
Now every room repeats my name
Like I'm a stranger they all know
I made a life out of looking alive
A beautiful answer, a well-rehearsed lie
If the smile falls away from my face
Will you leave, or will you make some space?
Don't ask me to make this easy to hear
I've spent enough years making pain disappear
There's someone beneath what you came to see
Will you leave a little room for me?
The last guest leaves a scarf behind
You fold it on an empty chair
You ask me something ordinary
Then wait as if there's time to spare
I search for something light to say
A little joke to clear the air
But when you ask a second time
I find I cannot leave it there
The answer doesn't come out clean
It stops and starts; it shakes a little
You don't reach out to fix a thing
You stay beside me in the middle
I made a life out of looking alive
A beautiful answer, a well-rehearsed lie
If the smile falls away from my face
Will you leave, or will you make some space?
Don't ask me to make this easy to hear
I've spent enough years making pain disappear
There's someone beneath what you came to see
Will you leave a little room for me?
If I go quiet, let me stay
Don't turn the silence into blame
I don't need words that make it small
Or one more reason to be brave
Just let this room hold what is true
Without a prettier disguise
I am afraid of being known
But tired of being recognized
I made a life out of looking alive
Tonight I can answer without a disguise
When the smile fell away from my face
You stayed long enough to make some space
I don't have to make this easy to hear
Or find a new way to make pain disappear
There's someone beneath what you came to see
For once, there's a little more room for me
No better story
No brighter ending
Just my own voice
And you still listening
