Some think I self-isolate But I like the quiet, it feels great I can see how that might look Like I locked myself inside my room Some say I should go out and meet New people, but I’d rather be Just me and my thoughts for company Less noise, less ways to get bruised It’s not a phase I’m trying to dig deep I spend my days To see who’s really me Gotta do this alone And find me on my own, ‘cause Who am I When I close the door at home Who am I When I’m finally on my own Where there’s no one left to impress Where I don’t call myself a mess Where I stay true to what I think True to what keeps me from the brink I leave the kettle on too long Forget the show I had on Half-written notes on the counter A plant by the window, hanging on I don’t need a packed-up room Or a hundred names to prove That I’m here, that I’m still moving Even when I’m moving slow Who am I When the phone stays on the side Who am I When I’m not performing right to night! Where there’s no one left to impress Where I can breathe without the stress Where I trust the voice I think True to what keeps me from the brink)l Maybe I’m not hiding Maybe I’m just healing Maybe being quiet Isn’t the same as leaving Let me take my time Let me keep my space If I come back changed Then that’s not a mistake I’m not gone I’m just in the middle Learning my name Without the noise around it I’m not lost But taking the long way One small step Back to my own Who am I When the phone stays on the side Who am I When I’m not performing right to night Where there’s no one left to impress Where I can breathe without the stress Where I trust the voice I think True to what keeps me from the brink Where there’s no one left to impress Where I don’t call myself a mess Where I stay true to what I think True to what keeps me from the brink So if I step away Don’t call it running I’m just learning how to stay When nobody’s watching So if I step away Don’t call it running I’m just learning how to stay When nobody’s judging
