Nobody Seems to Notice

I stopped wearing makeup on a Monday morning

Waited for a "you look tired" or some kind of warning

Nobody blinked, nobody said a word

I could've shown up in pajamas, guess it goes unheard

I've been the one who remembers every birthday, every name

Now I'm wondering if anyone would notice if I changed

Nobody seems to notice when I show up or I don't

I could skip the whole damn year and they'd just say "oh, she won't"

Nobody seems to notice, and I'm tired of being see-through

I'm standing right in front of you, but I'm invisible to you

I redecorated my whole apartment last fall

New couch, new paint, even hung a different wall

My neighbor walked in once, said "looks the same to me"

I laughed it off but it cut a little deep

I know I ain't the center of anybody's world

But being no one's focus is a lonely kind of girl

Nobody seems to notice when I show up or I don't

I could skip the whole damn year and they'd just say "oh, she won't"

Nobody seems to notice, and I'm tired of being see-through

I'm standing right in front of you, but I'm invisible to you

I dyed my hair back to brown from the blonde

Waited for a comment, waited way too long

Finally my coworker said "did you do something new?"

I said "yeah," and she said "cool," then went back to her food

Nobody seems to notice when I show up or I don't

I could skip the whole damn year and they'd just say "oh, she won't"

Nobody seems to notice, and I'm tired of being see-through

I'm standing right in front of you, but I'm invisible to you

I know I'm not a statue, I know I breathe and bleed

But being overlooked is a specific kind of need

So if you see me, if you're looking my way

Just say my name, that's all I gotta say

I stopped wearing makeup on a Monday morning

Nobody noticed, nobody's mourning

Nobody seems to notice

Yeah, nobody seems to notice
