[Verse 1] I still leave the hallway light on Even though I know I’m home Some habits don’t disappear Just because you’re not alone I’ve been talking to the silence Like it’s someone I can trust Keeping all my best memories And all my worst ones in the dust I know I said I was okay I know I smiled like I believed it But there were parts of me I buried Because I didn’t know who’d need them [Pre-Chorus] Then you said, “You don’t have to explain Everything you’re going through” And for the first time in a long time I believed someone could see me too [Chorus] So I’m opening slowly Like a window after rain Letting in a little sunlight Letting go of all the pain I don’t need to be fearless I don’t need to pretend I’m just learning that a broken heart Can learn to beat again And if I disappear sometimes If I need a little room Just know I’m finding pieces Of the person I once knew [Verse 2] I remember all the evenings When the world felt far away When I counted every reason Not to let somebody stay I was scared that if you knew me Every shadow, every scar You would see the parts I hated And forget the ones you loved before But you never tried to fix me You never asked me to change You just sat there in the quiet Until I stopped being afraid [Pre-Chorus] Maybe healing isn’t something That happens overnight Maybe it’s a thousand little moments Where you choose to stay alive [Chorus] So I’m opening slowly Like a flower in the cold Trying to believe the warmth When I’ve only known the snow I don’t need to be perfect I don’t need to pretend I’m just learning that a lost soul Can find its way again And if I disappear sometimes If I’m still figuring it out Just know I’m finally becoming Someone I don’t want to live without I spent so long protecting The pieces of me that hurt I forgot the same hands that hold the pain Can hold something beautiful first Maybe I wasn’t empty Maybe I was waiting For the right moment To start unfolding [Final Chorus] Now I’m opening slowly And I’m not afraid to feel All the things I kept hidden All the wounds I couldn’t heal I’m not who I was yesterday But I’m closer than I’ve been And every time I let you in I find myself again So leave the door open Let the morning come through I’m still becoming But I’m becoming something new [Outro] And maybe that’s enough Maybe that’s all I need Not to have it all together Just to finally breathe
