(Verse 1) I don’t know who I am without the chaos Without waiting for somebody to leave Spent so long attaching my whole heart To people who could barely carry me I turned into whatever they needed Just to feel like I deserved a place Now I look into the mirror sometimes And don’t recognize my own face (Pre-Chorus) Cause every goodbye took something with it Every shift in energy cut deep And now I’m digging through the damage Trying to find what’s left of me (Chorus) Who am I without them? Without those pieces I gave away? Without building my whole world Around somebody who couldn’t stay? I’m tired of surviving Tired of living scared all the time Now I’m searching through the static For the girl I left behind (Verse 2) People call me “too emotional” Like my heart wasn’t built bruised and raw Like I chose to fear abandonment Every time somebody shuts a door I know I feel everything too deeply I know attachment cuts like a knife But nobody talks about the grieving That happens while they’re still alive (Pre-Chorus) Cause when you become everybody else You forget your favorite songs Forget your own dreams Forget where you belong (Chorus) Who am I without them? Without those pieces I gave away? Without shrinking down my feelings Just to make somebody stay? I’m tired of surviving Tired of breaking just to feel loved right Now I’m searching through the static For the girl I left behind (Bridge) Maybe she’s the angry voice I was taught to keep inside Maybe she’s the soft heart I spent years trying to hide Maybe she’s the book-loving girl Writing pain into melodies Trying to heal the younger version Who still begs people not to leave (Final Chorus) Who am I without them? Maybe somebody finally real Not just a mirror for everybody Not just wounds that never heal I’m learning I can still be worthy Even when I’m on my own And maybe finding myself means Finally making my heart a home (Outro) Yeah maybe finding myself means Finally making my heart a home…
