lyrics

i dont wanna die, i got so much to do
i promise i'll try, try out something new
don't wanna be scared of the whole wide world
scared to get my throat slit, scared to watch it unfold
(no one, there is no one)
(no one, there is no one)
(no one, there is no one)
(no one, there is no one)

[maeEXO: there is no one]

i feel like that baby bird that you saw dying on the ground
trying to scream and trying to cry but i can't do it out loud
and your friends all lied and told you i'd be worse if you helped
'well, the maggots got to eat too" is what you told yourself

tell me what you were thinking
have you no empathy? not a drop, not an inkling
if you wanna seem nice don't act like you hate me
it's really not difficult to see things and say things (say things)
tell me honestly, did you even feel a bit of pity on me
when you looked down at the ground and you saw me
i was vulnerable and i was sobbing

(no one, there is no one)
(no one, there is no one)
(no one, there is no one)
(no one, there is no one)

[maeEXO: no one, there is no one, no one, there is no one here]
