(Verse) I searched for home in other people In approval, noise, and light Tried to earn my own reflection By surviving every night Built whole worlds around abandonment Till I almost disappeared Forgetting there was still a place Inside myself that stayed here (Pre-Chorus) I don’t need to leave myself To be worthy of love Home was never somewhere distant It was underneath the rubble all along (Chorus) I come home to myself Hand on heart Breathing slow No more begging to be chosen By the places I outgrow I know who I am I stay here I don’t abandon me again And every time I choose myself I finally enter in (Verse) Not perfection, not performance Not becoming someone new Just the quiet steady presence Of finally telling myself truth The nervous system softens When the war inside grows still And every shattered piece returning Starts rebuilding something real (Pre-Chorus) I don’t need to leave myself To be worthy of love Home was never somewhere distant It was underneath the rubble all along (Chorus) I come home to myself Hand on heart Breathing slow No more begging to be chosen By the places I outgrow I know who I am I stay here I don’t abandon me again And every time I choose myself I finally enter in
