Invisible
Hunter Hayes Lyrics

Crowded hallways are the loneliest places
Public places can still leave people feeling lonely and disconnected.

For outcasts and rebels
People that don't conform to society's norms and values are often excluded and ostracized.

Or anyone who just dares to be different
Individuals that don't fit into commonly accepted notions of how one should behave are often marginalized.

And you've been trying for so long
The struggle to belong is long and tiresome.

To find out where your place is
There is a constant search for a place in the world.

But in their narrow minds
Close-minded people cannot tolerate dissimilarity and diversity.

There's no room for anyone who dares to do something different
Unique individuals are often discriminated against or violently opposed.

Oh, but listen for a minute
Take the time to hear what others have to say and consider it thoughtfully.

Trust the one
Believe in someone who understands your struggle.

Who's been where you are wishing all it was
Someone who has felt the same way as you.

Was sticks and stones
Words may hurt sometimes, but they don't define you.

Those words cut deep but they don't mean you're all alone
Despite what people say or think of you, you are never completely alone.

And you're not invisible
You are not unnoticed, and you do matter.

Hear me out,
Listen carefully to what I'm saying.

There's so much more to life than what you're feeling now
Life is full of possibilities, and your current feelings do not define your existence.

Someday you'll look back on all these days
Eventually, you will reflect on this moment in time.

And all this pain is gonna be invisible
The pain will fade away and not hurt you anymore.

So your confidence is quiet
Your confidence may be hidden, but it is still within you.

To them quiet looks like weakness
Other people may perceive your reserved nature as a sign of being weak or lacking confidence.

But you don't have to fight it
You do not have to struggle against your own nature to comply with theirs.

'Cause you're strong enough to win without a war
You do not have to fight to be who you are and to fit in with the crowd.

Every heart has a rhythm
Every person is unique and has their rhythm or way of living.

Let yours beat out so loudly
Be yourself in full volume and allow your individuality to shine.

That everyone can hear it
Others need to acknowledge and respect your individuality.

Yeah, I promise you don't need to hide it anymore
You should not feel compelled to stifle your uniqueness or conform to society's norms anymore.

Oh, and never be afraid of doing something different
Dare to be unique and embrace your individuality.

Dare to be something more
Strive to exceed the expectations of others and be the best version of yourself.

These labels that they give you
Other people's prejudices and stereotypes directed at you.

just 'cause they don't understand
Society's inability to understand or accept those that deviate from the norm.

If you look past this moment
If you step outside of this difficult moment in time.

You'll see you've got a friend
People who care and support you.

Waving a flag for who you are
Publicly acknowledging and supporting your individuality and diverseness.

And all you're gonna do
Your future success and positive life experiences.

Yeah, so here's to you
Celebrating your individuality and unique personality.

And here's to anyone who's ever felt invisible
Acknowledging the experiences of people who often feel marginalized or ignored by society.

It'll be invisible
The pain and anguish will fade away over time.
