Invisible Ink

(Verse 1) Sitting here across the crowded room Sipping on a drink that’s lost its fizz Everyone’s a blur, a background tune But you, you’re a spotlight in the midst (Pre-Chorus) Catch your eye, it darts right past my face Another conversation, another smile Maybe if I wore a brighter shade of grace You’d see me for a little while (Chorus) Invisible threads, they stretch across the space Trying to connect, a whisper in the crowd But you’re a world away, lost in your own race Leaving me here, wishing I was loud (Verse 2) Hear your laugh, a melody so sweet It dances through the air, a bittersweet sting Words I long to say, trapped at my feet A silent symphony, a song I can’t sing (Pre-Chorus) Try to raise my voice, but it gets swallowed whole By the noise, the chatter, the endless stream Maybe I should write it down, a whispered role A character you’d finally see it seems (Chorus) Invisible threads, they stretch across the space Trying to connect, a whisper in the crowd But you’re a world away, lost in your own race Leaving me here, wishing I was loud (Bridge) Is it selfish to crave a single glance? A moment in your day, a stolen spark Maybe someday I’ll learn to take a chance But for now, I’m stuck here in the dark (Chorus) Invisible threads, they stretch across the space Trying to connect, a whisper in the crowd But you’re a world away, lost in your own race Leaving me here, wishing I was loud (Outro) Wishing I was loud, enough for you to see The girl who’s right here, longing to be free From the invisibility that’s wrapped around me Wishing I was loud, for you to finally see
