[Verse 1] She gets to the door before she sees the step One small stone edge that the world forgot to check She waits outside while the warmth spills through the glass Watches people move through spaces she can't pass The café up the stairs she'll never see The bakery that never thought of someone like her She knows the view from pavements, doors and gates The girl who always has to stop and wait [Pre-Chorus] They planned for her on paper, ticked the box But paper doesn't know what living costs [Chorus] Built without her Designed by hands that never had to try Built without her Nobody's a villain but nobody asked why She finds another way She always finds another way But it's harder than it should be And the world never knew Built without her [Verse 2] The freezer doors that need two hands to pull The aisles so tight she sometimes can't get through The fruit she cannot reach, the shelf too high She could ask for help but some things can't be said In ways that don't exhaust her before she's even fed By the time she's made her case the moment's gone So sometimes she just manages alone [Pre-Chorus] They planned for her on paper, ticked the box But paper doesn't know what living costs [Chorus] Built without her Designed by hands that never had to try Built without her Nobody's a villain but nobody asked why She finds another way She always finds another way But it's harder than it should be And the world never knew Built without her [Bridge] She doesn't ask for perfect She doesn't ask for much Just a door that opens easy Just a shelf within her touch Just one person in the planning room Who thought to ask her first Who rode the chair for just one week And finally understood what living hurts [Verse 3] She won't let it beat her, though some days it tries She counts what she can do and lets the rest go by She moves through a world that wasn't made for her With a quiet kind of grace that goes unseen and unheard Not beaten, not invisible, not done Just a girl still finding ways to get things done She hopes that somewhere someone draws a plan And finally thinks to ask her if they can [Final Chorus] Built without her Designed by hands that never had to try Built without her Nobody's a villain but nobody asked why She finds another way She always finds another way But it's harder than it should be And the world never knew She's still here She's still here Still finding another way Built without her But she's here She's always here [Outro] She gets to the door She finds what she can do She always finds what she can do
