[Intro] I kept the last note ringing in an empty room One small promise, one unfinished tune [Verse 1] You said the hurt would lose its teeth with time But every morning puts it back in mine I count the cracks along the bedroom door Like proof of every night I swore no more I carried quiet like a loaded weight Smiled at the people asking if I’m straight Now hear the floorboards answer when I move I’m done apologizing for the truth [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, let the whole frame shake If I break, let the silence wake No more folding myself to fit I was buried here, but I’m leaving it [Chorus] I’m not the wound you left behind I’m not the ghost inside your mind Watch me tear the lock apart With a borrowed breath and a stubborn heart I’m still here — here — here I’m still here — here — here [Verse 2] Look, I came from the corner where the cold got in Had a pocket full of doubt and a counterfeit grin Every no turned fuel, every bruise got filed Every closed door taught me how to build mine I don’t need your map, I don’t need your lane I made peace with the pressure, then I fed it my name You were waiting on a version that would stay on the floor Now the kid you dismissed is kicking through the door No pause, no plea, no borrowed crown I put the fear in a box and I’m burying it now Say my name when the room goes — goes — goes I turn the doubt into a current that grows — grows — grows [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, let the whole frame shake If I break, let the silence wake No more folding myself to fit I was buried here, but I’m leaving it [Chorus] I’m not the wound you left behind I’m not the ghost inside your mind Watch me tear the lock apart With a borrowed breath and a stubborn heart I’m still here — here — here I’m still here — here — here [Breakdown] Cut the cord Cut the cord No way back No way back Bring the weight Let it cave I won’t kneel I won’t kneel [Final Chorus] I’m not the wound you left behind I’m not the ghost inside your mind Watch me tear the lock apart With a borrowed breath and a stubborn heart I’m still here — here — here I’m still here — here — here I’m still here [Outro] The last note fades, but I don’t disappear
