on the day you came to
did you know you had come
did you know why you came
could you feel where you're from

did you ask it out loud
when no one could hear you
did you cry all alone
when everyone feared you

i ask you this
mostly for me
cause people like us
can go quietly

when they told you to stop
did you want to keep going
when they pushed you to tears
could you feel the pain showing

did you know you were drifting
from the moment you drifted
and could you feel your heart shifting
before it had shifted,

i ask you this
mostly for me
cause people like us
can go quietly
