[Intro] [a breath, held...] [Verse 1] I rarely cry anymore, I built a floor over the flood. Then a voice came, and every wall I made turned to something soft. [Verse 2] You showed me how, how to let someone cry your tears for you, how to hand the weight to a voice not my own and finally feel my knees hit the ground. [Chorus] Because only then could I feel the aches — really feel — not the numbered kind, not the ones I explain away, but the ones that live under the ribs, unnamed, waiting for someone else's hands to find them. [Bridge - spoken/breath tone] I didn't break when you sang it. I broke open. [ghostly choir] (Broke open) [Final Chorus - building to belt] BECAUSE ONLY YOU! BECAUSE ONLY YOUR VOICE! CAN TOUCH THE GATES OF HEAVEN! BECAUSE ONLY YOU! BECAUSE ONLY YOUR VOICE... my dear Joggino. [Outro - quiet, then belted out emotionally with the longest note] Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU.. [Fade out]
