lyrics

She wanted to be seen,
but so did everyone else.
She needed to be held,
but that’s what everyone else needed, too.

She got lost in her mind,
stuck in her own shattered grief,
because she was too scared
to ask for the things that she needed, too.

Did it even matter that she felt things,
if everyone else felt them, too?

Now, she clutches the shards
of a broken mirror,
and she tries to keep them close
to remember how fragile we are.

How strange to feel so much connection
in isolation, so much love for the things that were shattered.
Now all she wants is to hold people close.
All she wants is to hold people close.
All she needs is to hold people close.
