[Intro] Still here [Verse 1] I thought there might be someone waiting Someone I had lost along the way A version of me before the learning Before I knew which parts to play But there isn't some forgotten stranger Waiting underneath to take their place There is only me With a little more room Around my face [Pre-Chorus] I can feel what I have carried I can see what brought me through Every part still has a place here It just isn't all I am [Chorus] Before the winning Before the smile Before I made myself worthwhile Before the strong one learned to stand Before I knew what others needed from my hands There was something here Not finished Not defined A life that didn't need one answer For all the ways that I could be [Verse 2] I can still build I can still make you laugh I can carry when I choose I can notice I can help I can make something beautiful too I can step back when I want quiet I can leave when leaving's right Nothing has to disappear For me to have a wider life [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I don't need another name Maybe I don't need a better role Maybe knowing I am more than one thing Is enough to let me grow [Chorus] Before the winning Before the smile Before I made myself worthwhile Before the strong one learned to stand Before I knew what others needed from my hands There was something here Not finished Not defined A life that didn't need one answer For all the ways that I could be [Bridge] Who am I without the answer? I don't know Who am I without the role? Still here What do I become if nothing chooses for me? I don't know Maybe that's the room [Final Chorus] I am the one who learned those things And I am more than what they mean I don't need to lose the masks To know there is a face beneath Not better Not brand new Not finally someone true Just more of me available Than any single role could hold [Outro] There you are Hello
