[talking] The person I wrote this about doesn’t want anyone to know who they are so I’m not sharing that information [Verse 1] My dad left when I was five Left my shoes by the door I kept asking where he went But the house felt less sure [Verse 2] My mom was gone by ten Like a wind through the hall I learned how to stay awake When the silence got tall [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m twelve and I’m still here Counting cracks in the wall If nobody stays for me Why do I still stand tall? [Chorus] Don’t leave me alone Don’t leave me alone I’m still growing up I need a home Don’t leave me alone Don’t leave me alone I got a small heart That still wants hope [Verse 3] I wear my hurt like a name Under sleeves and school lights But I’m not made of broken things I’m a kid with both fights [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m twelve and I’m still here Learning how to be brave If love comes back around Maybe it can stay [Chorus] Don’t leave me alone Don’t leave me alone I’m still growing up I need a home Don’t leave me alone Don’t leave me alone I got a small heart That still wants hope [Bridge] If you ever find me first Hold on when I pull back I can be loud, I can be scared I can lose my track But I’m still here I’m still here With my name in my chest And my feet on the floor [Final Chorus] Don’t leave me alone Don’t leave me alone I’m still growing up I need a home Don’t leave me alone Don’t leave me alone I got a small heart That still wants hope Don’t leave me alone Don’t leave me alone I’m still growing up I need a home
