Verse 1 There's a heart inside of me That smiles before it cries Learns how to disappear Before it ever tries There's a heart inside of me That walks before it runs Plays with fire quietly Before the damage is done Pre-Chorus It learned the shape of silence Before it learned a voice Memorized the exits Before it had a choice Bridge (spoken / stripped) There’s a heart inside of me Still beating through the noise It memorized pain Long before it understood joy Chorus There’s a heart inside of me Still counting every breath It keeps on moving forward Even when it doesn’t feel safe Verse 2 There's a heart inside of me That whispers before it sings Hides in the corners Of unfinished things There's a heart inside of me That learned how not to need Built walls out of caution Called it honesty Pre-Chorus (shorter / stripped) I learned to brace for impact Before I learned to fall Chorus There’s a heart inside of me Still beating through the noise It memorized pain Long before it understood joy There’s a heart inside of me Still standing in the mess It keeps on showing up Even when it doesn’t feel safe Outro (spoken / stripped) Still here Still breathing Still mine
