I Outgrew Her

[Verse 1] I’m standing in my closet Like I’m walking through a yearbook Hangers full of lifetimes I don’t fit anymore That jacket knew my heartbreaks Those heels heard every secret I’m touching all these fabrics Like I’m closing old doors [Pre-Chorus] It hit like a funeral For someone I don’t miss Tears on the edge of my lashes Then it turned into this [Chorus] I just had a death you can’t bury Laid my old self down, said goodbye All these little ghosts in the doorway Still trying to dress me in lies But I’m not lost, I’m living I didn’t break, I grew The woman I am now Doesn’t fit what I once called “normal” I didn’t lose anything I became someone new [Verse 2] That dress was all approval That blazer meant “belong here” I wore other people’s comfort Like it was my own skin Even all the colors Feel like they belonged to her Nothing here is ugly It’s just where I begin [Pre-Chorus] So I laugh in the quiet At the girl I outgrew She was doing her best Now she’s making room [Chorus] I just had a death you can’t bury Laid my old self down, said goodbye All these little ghosts in the doorway Still trying to dress me in lies But I’m not lost, I’m living I didn’t break, I grew The woman I am now Doesn’t fit what I once called “normal” I didn’t lose anything I became someone new [Bridge] Maybe I’ll fold her up gentle Button every memory Thank her for the way she carried What I couldn’t see (oh, thank you) I’ll leave space on this empty rail For colors I haven’t met For a body that feels like mine For a life I don’t regret [Chorus] I just had a death you can’t bury Laid my old self down, said goodbye All these little ghosts in the doorway Can’t pull me back inside ‘Cause I’m not lost, I’m living I didn’t break, I grew The woman I am now Is the one I choose I didn’t lose anything I became someone new (yeah, I became someone new)
