(Verse 1)
I take a step, I make a move,
But you’re right there, always disprove.
Every triumph that I find,
You twist it up, leave me behind.
(Chorus)
Why can't you see me? Why can't you hear?
I’m stuck in the shadows, drowning in fear.
Your spotlight shines, but it blinds my way,
You only talk about you every day.
(Verse 2)
I paint my dreams, you throw them away,
My words fall silent while yours hold sway.
When I need you, you’re nowhere near,
Just self-absorbed in your own veneer.
(Chorus)
Why can't you see me? Why can't you hear?
I’m stuck in the shadows, drowning in fear.
Your spotlight shines, but it blinds my way,
You only talk about you every day.
(Bridge)
Sister, brother, can’t you understand?
I’m reaching out, but you don’t lend a hand.
Every conversation goes back to you,
I’m tired of fighting to get through.
(Verse 3)
I’m rising up, I’ll find my light,
No more holding back, I’ll take flight.
You had your chapter, but I’ll write mine,
No longer hidden, I will shine.
(Chorus)
Why can't you see me? Why can't you hear?
I’m stepping out now, conquering fear.
Your spotlight fades, I’ll find my way,
No more just living in your shadow play.
(Outro)
So here’s my voice, I’ll make it ring,
In this life, I’ll be my own king.
While you may overshadow, I’ll break free,
No longer undermined, I’ll just be me.
