[Verse 1] Dear old me, you got me here. You learned the hard rooms, the locked-up years. You held the line when I was split. You took the hit and stayed with it. [Pre-Chorus] I see your scars. I see your hands. You built a bridge with what you had. [Chorus] Thank you, old me for getting me through Thank you, old me for what you could do I honor the one who survived the night I do not reinstall the cage you called life [Verse 2] You were not a ghost, you were a guide. You kept one spark alive inside. So I can love who I became without going back to wear your name. [Pre-Chorus] I keep the gold. I leave the rust. I carry forward what I can trust. [Chorus] Thank you, old me for getting me through Thank you, old me for what you could do I honor the one who survived the night I do not reinstall the cage you called life [Bridge] You can rest now. You can unclench. No more false doors. No more defense. I remember you without the chain. I can think your shape and not become the same. [Chorus] Thank you, old me for getting me through Thank you, old me for what you could do I honor the one who survived the night I do not reinstall the cage you called life
