[Crowd Noise] (stadium cheering, five seconds) [Spoken Intro — Female Vocal — Wren] (crowd settles) Thank you...... thank you so much. (brief cheering) (drops to a whisper) Somewhere in the world, right now...... someone just took their own life. One every 43 seconds. (pause) This is what it takes to come back from grief, trauma, and the dark. (pause) This record is for the givers. The ones who kept showing up. The ones who taught love before they ever felt it back. (pause) Now. Let's begin. [Live Performance] [Verse 1 — Female Vocal] You were the one who picked up when I called You were the room when the house had no walls The rest of them didn't know what to do with me You were the only one willing to try [Pre-Chorus — Female Vocal] A cookie with a bite taken Still looks almost whole But I can see the shape of you Right where the missing goes [Chorus — Both] You were the bite I can't replace The piece gone from the middle of this place I didn't know how much of me was you Until I reached into the dark and found the space You were the bite I can't replace [Verse 2 — Female Vocal] Six years before I flew back to find you a stone They buried you nameless in a field of your own I walked every row till the poplars closed around And pressed my palms into the ground [Pre-Chorus — Female Vocal] A cookie with a bite taken Still looks almost whole But I can see the shape of you Right where the missing goes [Chorus — Both] You were the bite I can't replace The piece gone from the middle of this place I didn't know how much of me was you Until I reached into the dark and found the space You were the bite I can't replace [Bridge — Female Vocal] I said the words — I let you go The wind moved through the poplar leaves You answered back the only way the gone ones can You found a door that only opens one way And I've been standing at it ever since [Both] BUT I CAN SAY YOUR NAME NOW I CAN SAY YOUR NAME WITHOUT DROWNING TAMMY YOUR NAME [Outro — Female Vocal] Cookie with a bite taken Still whole in all the ways that count Still yours Still yours
