[Verse 1] You drew a line across the kitchen tile Said, “Stand on your side,” with a practiced smile I watched the kettle click, the window shake And tried to name the shape we had to break [Pre-Chorus] Your words fit neatly in a paper frame Mine kept changing every time you named me [Chorus] I’m not the outline you remember Not the answer you can keep I change my face in every window Still, the name I choose is mine to speak [Verse 2] The old coat hangs behind the pantry door Its sleeves still know the person from before I leave it there; I don’t have to decide Which version gets to walk home by my side [Pre-Chorus] You want a clean cut, one unbroken thread I’m learning what can loosen, not be dead [Chorus] I’m not the outline you remember Not the answer you can keep I change my face in every window Still, the name I choose is mine to speak [Spoken Break] If I cross the line, it isn’t to disappear. I just need room to become more than one thing. [Bridge] A cracked blue cup, a key without a door Small things can hold what labels can’t restore Let every border breathe a little wide I’ll meet you where the pieces coincide [Final Chorus] I’m not the outline you remember Not the answer you can keep I change my face in every window Still, the name I choose is mine to speak [Outro] Mine to speak Mine to speak
