[Verse 1] I learned piano just to fill the silence Hoped you’d hear me from the other room Used to sit and smile while I played the keys Now you shut the door and talk above the tune Every word feels like a test I’m failing “Speak up” then “don’t you raise your voice” So I swallow all the things I’m thinking Like being quiet was my safest choice [Pre-Chorus] Now every “what?” feels like a warning sign Every “okay…” makes me lose my mind Teachers yell and I’m right back there Frozen in a room that never felt fair I think that I was hard to love Too loud, too quiet, too much somehow [Chorus] Too loud, too quiet Too much somehow Too loud, too quiet I’m still here now Some people make me feel Like I’m a burden My voice takes up too much space But I’m still learning [Verse 2] I count the pauses when you look away Like maybe I said it all wrong again I rehearse my truth before I let it out Then it breaks apart when I begin And I know I’m not a room to manage Not a habit you can shut away If my hands shake when I tell the story It’s just the truth I never got to say [Pre-Chorus] Now every “what?” feels like a warning sign Every “okay…” makes me lose my mind Teachers yell and I’m right back there Frozen in a room that never felt fair I think that I was hard to love Too loud, too quiet, too much somehow [Chorus] Too loud, too quiet Too much somehow Too loud, too quiet I’m still here now Some people make me feel Like I’m a burden My voice takes up too much space But I’m still learning [Bridge] If I’m a storm, then let me rain If I’m a flame, then let me stay I don’t need to fit your hands Just to prove I’m worth the taking [Final Chorus] Too loud, too quiet Too much somehow Too loud, too quiet I’m still here now Some people make me feel Like I’m a burden My voice takes up too much space But I’m still learning
