I’ve been getting through the days just fine

…at least that’s how it looks

No one really asks twice anyway

So I don’t give them a reason to

I just say what I’m supposed to say

Keep it easy, keep it moving

Get through another day

There’s a version that can hold eye contact

Another laughs like nothing’s wrong

Somehow she stays intact

While I stay somewhere behind

They move like me, talk like me

No one ever sees the difference

They take what they need from me

Say it’s easier this way

I’ve been getting through the days just fine

…at least that’s how it looks

But they take what they need just to let me breathe

And I’m coming apart in pieces

Every version leaves complete

Takes a piece I couldn’t keep

I hand it over without a fight

— like I don’t even ask

There’s a version that doesn’t ever shake

Another never hesitates

And one that never feels the weight

So I let her take my place

I watch her from the other side

Like a stranger in my skin

She’s everything I had to hide

And everything I’ve never been

They blur the line, they multiply

I can’t tell which one I’m in

If I disappear tonight

Would they notice, would they win?

I’ve been getting through the days just fine

…at least that’s how it looks

But they take what they need just to let me breathe

And I’m coming apart in pieces

Every version leaves complete

Takes a piece I couldn’t keep

I hand it over without a fight

— like I don’t even ask

Which one of us is real?

The one they love…

or the one that’s left?

I gave them everything

just to survive

…and I don’t know what I kept

They don’t break

they don’t bend

they don’t feel this in their chest

If they’re everything I needed—

WHY AM I WHAT’S LEFT

I’ve been getting through the days just fine

…at least that’s how it looks

But they take what they need just to let me breathe

Now there’s barely anything left

Every version leaves complete

Takes a piece I couldn’t keep

I hand it over—

I hand it over—

before they even ask

I’ve been getting through the days just fine

…at least that’s how it looks

now there’s barely anything left
