I was thirteen when I first thought
Maybe I could just disappear
Not in a movie way, not in a poem
Just gone, like a light switched off in an empty room
In the quiet of my heart, a shadow grew

And no one saw me leave, no one ever does
Just a breath held in the cold, a whisper in the dust
This heavy ghost inside, a truth I can't outrun
No one saw me leave, before the day was done

I tried to tell someone once, the words stuck in my throat
So I swallowed them, let them rot inside, a silent, bitter note
And nobody noticed the silence growing, a chasm in my soul
Another day slipped by, another story left untold

And no one saw me leave, no one ever does
Just a breath held in the cold, a whisper in the dust
This heavy ghost inside, a truth I can't outrun
No one saw me leave, before the day was done

I walked the streets at midnight, counting the cracks in the pavement
Each one a reason, each one a memory, a moment heaven-sent
I wondered if anyone would remember me, if I left quietly, without a sound
Just a fading echo, on forgotten ground

And no one saw me leave, no one ever does
Just a breath held in the cold, a whisper in the dust
This heavy ghost inside, a truth I can't outrun
No one saw me leave, before the day was done

I stood on the bridge, watched the water move, it didn't call to me
It just waited, like it knew I'd come back, for the silent company
And I did, every night, until I stopped hoping for rescue, a futile, broken plea
Now I keep my secrets in my shoes, so when I run, they come with me
A quiet weight, a silent vow, for all the world to see, but never truly know

No one saw me leave
No one ever does
Just the space where I used to be
A breath
Gone with the breeze
No one saw me leave
No one
Ever does
