## Verse 1 I kept the way you looked at me the first time I kept the particular quality of that I kept the early mornings and the late nights I kept the realness underneath all that I didn't keep the version where you left me I didn't keep the photograph I burned I kept the things that made me who I am now I kept the lessons even when they hurt ## Pre-Chorus This is what I kept This is what survived This is what I carried out When I came out the other side ## Chorus What I kept Is mine now What I kept Is clean now What I kept Doesn't have your fingerprints on it anymore What I kept Is just me What I kept Is enough What I kept Is everything I need to walk through any door What I kept ## Verse 2 I kept the songs because the songs are real Regardless of the hands that put them there I kept the voice because the voice is mine I kept the knowledge that I'm someone worth the care I let go of the story where I'm smaller I let go of the ending where you win I kept the version where I find my footing I kept the part where I begin again ## Pre-Chorus This is what I kept This is what survived This is what I carried out When I came out the other side ## Chorus What I kept Is mine now What I kept Is clean now What I kept Doesn't have your fingerprints on it anymore What I kept Is just me What I kept Is enough What I kept Is everything I need to walk through any door What I kept ## Bridge Not everything deserves to be carried Not everything earned a place in me I was so careful with things that didn't matter And so careless with the things that set me free But I know now I know now What's worth keeping What's worth keeping Is me ## Final Chorus What I kept Is mine now What I kept Is clean now What I kept Doesn't have your fingerprints on it anymore What I kept Is just me What I kept Is enough What I kept Is everything I need What I kept Is everything What I kept ## Outro What I kept Is mine Just mine What I kept
