I don’t want praise I don’t want noise I just want you to hear my voice Say my name the way you mean it Not what you need Not how you see it I do things They should matter Sometimes they don’t That’s the pattern If I stopped If I was gone Would anything carry on I learned how to fit the room I learned when to leave too soon If I stay the way I am Do I still belong here then I leave marks I try to prove I was here I really moved Say it stays Say it counts Say something still remains We’re all asking the same question Just not out loud We’re all reaching from different places For the same ground I hold close what breaks easy Call it love Call it need If this hurt has any use Tell me what it means Let me choose Let me try Let tomorrow pass me by If I fall Let it show That I moved Not that I froze We were asking the same question Before we knew how to speak We were reaching without knowing What we needed was this close If there’s more than just me here Let me feel it while I’m still clear If this ends Let it be That I touched something real
