I also wrote lyrics based on the original lyrics. Looking at MJ's lyrics again, I think they're not very specific. Weekend-like

Lyrics: invisible
[Inst] early-2000s club r&b pop, Darkchild-style hook-driven groove, 102 bpm, minor key, tight 808 kick with sharp snare and busy hat ticks, clipped syncopated bass with stutter edits and percussive synth hits, crisp male lead with breathy ad-libs and stacked chorus, verse sparse then explosive chantable hook with stop-start drops, loud modern club master with punchy low end and dry forward vocals [Intro] What’s invisible isn’t me— it’s me pretending not to look. [Verse] Morning platform, she slips one earbud free— a small habit I swear I’m the only one who knows. He says something, she smiles, “yeah,” and seals the world again with the other side. And I watch it like it’s the first time—every time. [Pre Chorus] I lost a long time ago. “Win or lose” is a stupid way to say it, but the “of course” she gives to someone else never once arrived for me. Still I think—maybe it could. That hope is what regret is made of. [Chorus] Invisible, that’s my love— starting on its own, ending on its own, where nobody sees. Invisible, I stay quiet— wanting the world to change, scared that it will. [Break] Lunch break, by the window— the click of her coffee tab, and my chest goes light. Even with him beside her, my feelings ignite, then fade, then vanish, like they were never there. [Pre Chorus] A tiny sticker on the corner of her notebook— different from yesterday. I live off those differences, collecting “today’s her” just to replay it later at home. [Bridge] I manufacture reasons after the fact: Not now—she has a boyfriend. Not now—she looks busy. Not now—she’s smiling. All of it is correct. All of it is escape. When she grips his sleeve, her fingertips go pale— I’ve watched that pressure a hundred times. Never touched. Still it hurts like I did. [Interlude] No name. No voice. Just a shadow breathing. [Build Up] On the way home, dusk stretches their shadows side by side. Mine trails behind, stretching the same direction anyway. It won’t overlap. It won’t overlap— and I hate that it’s the same color. [Chorus] Invisible, that’s my love— starting on its own, ending on its own, where nobody sees. Invisible, I stay quiet— wanting the world to change, scared that it will. [Outro] I don’t call her name, because I’m afraid the world would shift. I want it to. I fear it. That contradiction is regret. I want to stay unseen— but I want to be found. Just once, in the edge of her vision: “Oh… you were there.” Invisible. That’s always been me. [Solo] Invisible.
