[Intro] I know why you're here [Verse 1] You learned the room Before I had the words You noticed what was safe And what could hurt You found the thing That got us through Then did what any part Trying to protect us would do You remembered [Pre-Chorus] Every time the room looked similar You reached for what had worked before You weren't trying to keep me small You were trying to keep me sure [Chorus] You were never broken You were taught what hurt required You built a life around the lesson Now the lesson has expired Thank you for getting me here You don't have to disappear What protected me can still be mine It just doesn't have to drive [Verse 2] There are still rooms where I may need you Still moments when the old skill fits I don't have to throw away what I learned Just because I can choose when I use it We are not back there now And not every open door is then I have things I couldn't teach you when we learned this I can teach you now [Pre-Chorus] You knew the world I knew back then You kept repeating what kept working But I have lived since you learned me There is more that we know now [Chorus] You were never broken You were taught what hurt required You built a life around the lesson Now the lesson has expired Thank you for getting me here You don't have to disappear What protected me can still be mine It just doesn't have to drive [Bridge] You can tell me when you're frightened You can reach when something rhymes I will listen I will look I will decide if this is that time You don't have to save me first You don't have to know what's next We can notice what is happening Before we answer from what happened then [Final Chorus] You were never broken Neither was I We learned something that kept us moving And carried it through time I can honour what you gave me Without giving you every choice You can still come with me You just don't have to be my voice [Outro] Thank you I've got it from here
