Findlay - Finally (Cover)
(verse 1) I kept the edges rounded off to fit inside your frame. I spoke in muted whispers just to protect your name. The version that you carry, the one you think you know Is a ghost I've been outgrowing, and it's finally time to go. (Chorus) And I'm sorry if you miss the person who never said a word. The one who stayed in silence so your ego could be heard. But I've stepped into the sunlight, and the air is finally sweet. I'm trading your approval for the ground beneath my feet. It's a real life, a true life, a love that's built to last, And I won't stay a prisoner to who I was in the past. (verse 2) You'll say that I've grown colder, or that I've lost my way. But I've never been more certain than I am this very day. I used to fear the hallow, the space where I should be, But I filled it up with kindness and fierce honesty. (Chorus) And I'm sorry if you miss the person who never said a word. The one who stayed in silence so your ego could be heard. But I've stepped into the sunlight, and the air is finally sweet. I'm trading your approval for the ground beneath my feet. It's a real life, a true life, a love that's built to last, And I won't stay a prisoner to who I was in the past. (Bridge) Love isn't keeping a person small. Love isn't catching them before they fall. It's letting them run, letting them grow. Even if they become someone you no longer know. (outro) So keep your memories of the old me, keep them on the shelf. I'm too busy falling in love with the truth of myself. A real life, finally. A real love, finally. I'm finally here.
