Phone's on the table, screen facing down
But I can feel it staring like it knows I'll break down
Set it to silent, locked it in a drawer
Still hear it buzzing when it's not anymore
Friends keep checking in, I keep saying "I'm good"
Lying comes easy when you're used to misunderstood
I put the sign on my door, on my heart
Told the whole world I don't need a part
Do not disturb, that's the sign on my door
But I'm screaming on the inside, begging for more
Funny how silence can feel like a cage
Do not disturb but somebody, please
Silence gets loud when you're left here alone
Talking to ceilings, pretending I'm fine on my own
Ate dinner standing up, forgot to turn on a light
Called it "peaceful." Called it "a quiet night."
I built the wall, then I stood behind it
Waited for somebody to climb it, find it
But walls work both ways, that's the catch
Nobody gets in, and I can't get back
Do not disturb, that's the sign on my door
But I'm screaming on the inside, begging for more
Funny how silence can feel like a cage
Do not disturb but somebody, please
Here's what I didn't know when I hung the sign
It doesn't keep the hurt out it keeps it inside
Shutting the world out won't numb out the pain
It just means I'm the only one in the room with it
Do not disturb, that's the sign on my door
But I'm aching for a voice that could pull me through the door
Funny how shutting the world out won't numb out the pain
Do not disturb but somebody, please
