[Verse 1] Used to know myself by the songs I sang By the way one note could say everything Then somewhere I put that part away One quiet year became fifteen somehow The mic collected dust, so did my name I told myself that I had simply changed But looking back, the hardest truth to face Nobody took my music from its place [Pre-Chorus] I closed the door Turned out the light Then blamed the dark For all those nights [Chorus] I thought I lost my voice I only stopped listening Thought the music left But it was waiting there for me Fifteen years inside a room That I had locked myself within I thought I lost my voice I only stopped listening [Verse 2] Then an old friend said, "Come look at this" A different road back into my Music AI could build the room, shape the sound But that old voice was mine when it came around Still I fought it, couldn't trust my ears Too much silence stacked across those years Then one night through the speakers came A voice I knew before I heard my name [Pre-Chorus] My hands went still I let it play Fifteen years Just Fell away [Chorus] I thought I lost my voice I only stopped listening Thought the music left But it was waiting there for me Fifteen years inside a room That I had locked myself within I thought I lost my voice I only stopped listening [Bridge] AI didn't give me what I never had It handed me a way to take it back And my old friend never pulled me through He showed me a doorway I could walk into That's when I finally understood The man I was was standing where he stood Older now, but when I heard him sing I knew the years hadn't taken everything [Final Chorus] I didn't lose my voice I finally started listening Now the music lives And I'm right here where I should be Fifteen years behind that door Now there's nothing holding it in No, I didn't find my voice I let myself write again [Outro] Fifteen years... And I still knew that sound. Yeah... That's me.
