JDVZ - WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO?

LYRICS BELOW ⬇️ WHERE DID EVERYBODY GO? Written by Jackie Mack [VERSE 1] Paranoid, unemployed, trying to fill this empty void Self-destroy, can’t enjoy the little things I once adored Overthinking every choice, hear my name and check the door Got so used to feeling lost, I don’t know what I’m looking for Same clothes, same road, same debts I can’t avoid Old mates got new jobs, I got problems unemployed Mum asks what I’m doing, I say, “Trying to sort my life” Then I sit there half the day, thinking ’bout it half the night I’ve got plans I never started, got regrets I never mention Every time I make a change, I find another imperfection Got a head full of excuses, got a pocket full of lint Funny how you lose direction when you’ve nowhere else to drift I can laugh around the table, make a joke and play the part Then go quiet on the drive back, picking everything apart They say time will make it better, but the days just rearrange Same problems wearing new clothes, same person, different pain [HOOK] Where did everybody go? I don’t even wanna know. Used to feel it in my chest, Now there’s nothing when they go. Nothing when they go… Where did everybody go? Doesn’t matter anymore. If I disappeared tomorrow, Who’d be knocking at the door? [VERSE 2] I remember having dreams, now I measure days in hours Used to think that I’d be somebody, now I struggle with the basics Everybody’s moving forward, I keep circling the same place Put a smile across my face, hope nobody sees the strain I’ve got people I could call, but I don’t know what to say Can’t explain the way I’m feeling without pushing them away So I tell them that I’m busy, tell them maybe another day Then complain that no one’s there when I keep shutting them away That’s the part I hate admitting, I’m the reason I’m alone Build a wall around my problems, then get bitter when they go Want somebody to understand, but I don’t let them get close How am I supposed to heal if I won’t tell them what hurts most? I got memories that follow me, decisions I regret Things I swore I’d leave behind still collect inside my head I can blame it on the timing, blame the people, blame the past But the mirror doesn’t argue, it just gives the question back [HOOK] Where did everybody go? I don’t even wanna know. Used to feel it in my chest, Now there’s nothing when they go. Nothing when they go… Where did everybody go? Doesn’t matter anymore. If I disappeared tomorrow, Who’d be knocking at the door? [VERSE 3] I don’t need another lecture, I’ve memorised the speech Get a job, get your head straight, be the man you’re meant to be Like I haven’t had those conversations with myself at half past three Like I haven’t made a hundred plans that never made it past the week I know life ain’t fair, I know nobody owes me Know the world keeps turning whether anybody knows me But there’s days I feel a stranger in the place I used to call home And I miss the way I was before I felt this far gone I’ve got daughters looking up at me, that’s something I protect They deserve a dad who shows them love, not someone full of regret So I fight to get my footing, even when I lose my nerve Try to be the man they need, not the man I think I deserve I can’t change the years behind me, can’t retrieve the time I’ve spent Can’t undo the words I’ve spoken or the bridges that I’ve bent But I’m tired of being stuck here, tired of making this excuse If I can’t control the past, I’ve got today that I can use [HOOK] Where did everybody go? I don’t even wanna know. Used to feel it in my chest, Now there’s nothing when they go. Nothing when they go… Where did everybody go? Doesn’t matter anymore. If I disappeared tomorrow, Who’d be knocking at the door?
