(acoustic instrumental opening) Phone lights up like a sounding alarm Names on the screen, but I can’t pick up I’ve been living low, off the radar hum Trying to remember how to be someone Windows open, but the air’s too loud Every voice feels like a crowd I know you mean well, I know you care But I’m still learning how to get there Pre-Chorus If I go quiet, don’t read between It’s not you, it’s me in recovery Chorus I got an empty cup, don’t ask me to pour Been running on nothing, can’t give anymore I’m not your fix, I’m not your cure I’m still sweeping up my own floor I’ll meet you halfway, someday soon Right now I just need some room It’s not a no, it’s just not yet I’m still catching my breath Verse 2 Two years deep in a different head Talking to ghosts I haven’t outrun yet Now every invite feels too fast Like I skipped ahead but I missed the class I wanna show up, I wanna stay But my battery dies by the middle of the day So if I fade, if I fall offline Just know I’m healing, not drawing a line Pre-Chorus I hear your weight in every word I just can’t carry any more weight Chorus I got an empty cup, don’t ask me to pour Been running on nothing, can’t afford anymore I’m not your fix, I’m not your cure I’m still sweeping up my own floor I’ll meet you halfway, someday soon Right now I just need some room It’s not a no, it’s just not yet I’m still catching my breath Bridge Let me be quiet without the guilt Let me rebuild what I almost killed Piece by piece, slow and true I’ll come back stronger, I just need to rest Final Chorus (slight lift) I got a half-full cup, I’m learning to pour Just a little at a time, not like before I’m not your fix, but I’m still here Just standing smaller than I was before I’ll meet you halfway, someday soon When my sky isn’t stuck on the moon It’s not a no, it’s just not yet I’m still catching my breath (Instrumental fade out)
