[Verse 1] I learned to hold my breath in crowded rooms To smile on cue, to bloom the way you wanted me to bloom You’d say my name like it was carved in stone But I was writing other versions when nobody was home There’s a boy back there in an old T-shirt With ink-stained hands and a quiet hurt And there’s a girl in glitter, in the spotlight’s noise Two names, one voice [Pre-Chorus] If I tell you I’m afraid, would you stay? If I open all the doors, would you run away? I’m not a lie, I’m not a choice I’m— [Chorus] Two names, one voice One heart split in the bright I’m the echo and the noise I’m the shadow and the light If you love me, let me be More than what you came to see Two names, one voice And I’m tired of being twice [Verse 2] They want a story with a clean-cut end A pretty little label that they can defend But I’m the space between the lines you read I’m the truth you feel in silence, not the myth you need I’ve been praying to the mirror, “Don’t collapse” Trying not to let the seams show when I laugh I’m not broken—just composed From two worlds no one knows [Pre-Chorus] If I say it out loud, will it change? If I drop the perfect pose, will it make me strange? I’m not a sin, I’m not a choice I’m— [Chorus] Two names, one voice One heart split in the bright I’m the echo and the noise I’m the shadow and the light If you love me, let me be More than what you came to see Two names, one voice And I’m tired of being twice [Bridge] There’s a daydream in Ohio Where I sing and no one stares Just my sister in the doorway And the sun inside the air And there’s this stage in California Where I sparkle, where I burn Where they scream for her forever And forget the one who learned So if the truth is complicated Let it be I don’t need you to explain me Just see me [Final Chorus] Two names, one voice I’m still here, I’m still mine I’m the fracture and the choice I’m the question and the sign If you love me, let me breathe Let me live in both my dreams Two names, one voice And I don’t want to hide tonight [Outro] Call me what you want But don’t call me a lie Two names, one voice Same sky
