Notice Me

(album: What's Going On - 2019)

My whole life I focus on not being noticed
And now it kinda sucks that I'm nobody's main focus
Yeah, I was devoted to sit to sitting in the back of the class
Never raising my hand
Not wanting to be seen or spoken to is biting me in the ass
'Cause now, I do not stand out, I stand down
And when it's my turn to speak
Nobody hears me out
It's like all this time I spent trying to be invisible really worked
But now when I wanna be seen and I wanna be heard
And nobody does
It really hurts, it really hurts

Won't you notice me?
Please, I just wanna be seen
Won't you notice me?
I'm not who I used to be

I'm the guy in a group chat nobody ever responds to (how come?)
But that doesn't bother me too much
Whatever, it's cool
But when my family takes a picture without me while I'm in the bathroom (that hurts my feelings)
How could you forget about a little kid you gave birth to (hmm)
I'm like black words on a black t-shirt, I blend in
Like what's the point in being there?
Someone played the world's smallest violin
Even when I try to be loud, my words come out silent
Someone just repeated the same joke I just said
And got more laughs than I did

Won't you notice me?
Please, I just wanna be seen
Won't you notice me?
I'm not who I used to be
(Let's go, c'mon, give me somethin')

Won't you notice me?
Please, I just wanna be seen
Won't you notice me?
I'm not who I used to be
I'm so tired of feeling like this
Feeling like I just don't exist
Won't you notice me?
I'm not who I used to be

So be careful what you're wishing for
One day you won't want that anymore
You don't have to be invisible
It'll only make you miserable (trust me)
So be careful what you're wishing for
One day you won't want that anymore
You don't have to be invisible
It'll only make you miserable
It'll only make you miserable

To notice me
Please, I just wanna be seen
Won't you notice me?
I'm not who I used to be (let's go)

Notice me?
Please, I just wanna be seen
Won't you notice me?
I'm not who I used to be
I'm so tired, feeling like this
Feeling like I just don't exist
Won't you notice me?
I'm not who I used to be
