[Intro - Spoken, tender] I still know my name. Even when my voice shakes. [Verse 1 - Intimate, reflective] I used to hear your footsteps And call you through the wall To ask about some little thing That mattered most of all We wanted different futures But one thing stayed the same You'd always be there somewhere And I would do the same [Pre-Chorus - Fragile, awakening] Tonight I found a photograph Of us at seventeen I recognize the girl beside you There's more she's yet to be [Chorus - Powerful, resolute] I won't break myself to fit Inside your memory I won't hold my breath To prove that I still carry you with me I can keep you close And still have room for me I'm coming back in pieces But they're mine to keep I'm taking back the shape of me [Verse 2 - Restrained, conflicted] They ask me how I'm holding up I tell them, “Day by day” Sometimes I want to tell them About the song I played I almost told a story About someone I'd met Then wondered if they'd think of you And think I could forget [Pre-Chorus - Soft, opening] I thought that moving on with life Meant leaving you behind Some days it's just a little choice To want a life that's mine [Chorus - Powerful, resolute] I won't break myself to fit Inside your memory I won't hold my breath To prove that I still carry you with me I can keep you close And still have room for me I'm coming back in pieces But they're mine to keep I'm taking back the shape of me [Post-Chorus - Layered Harmonies, trembling] I still know my name Even when my voice shakes [Bridge - Exposed, grieving] I miss you in the morning Sometimes I almost call I want to ask what you would do Then have the final word I don't have to live for both of us Or be who you might have been I can always be your sister And still be someone else [Build - Gathering strength] Let my voice shake Let it still be heard [Final Chorus - Full Band, liberated] I won't break myself to fit Inside your memory I won't hold my breath To prove that I still carry you with me I can keep you close And still have room for me I'm coming back in pieces But they're mine to keep I'm taking back the shape of me [Outro - Piano, quiet resolve] I still know my name And tonight That's enough for me
