Say My Name

[Verse 1] I learned my name from the shape of your face the way you looked at me like a door left open I carried old keys in my coat pocket for rooms I had already lost for people I had already missed There was a crack in the day where the sun fell through and I stood there letting it find me I said I was fine with my hands in my sleeves but the truth was louder than my mouth [Pre-Chorus] So I kept walking past the broken fence past the mailbox leaning sideways past the version of me that never stayed And every step said you can begin again you can begin again [Chorus] Say my name like it still matters say my name like the room will answer say my name and I will come back I will come back [Verse 2] The table knew my silence the plate knew my hunger the chair by the window held my shape too long I have been the slow apology I have been the late reply I have been the hand reaching for a handprint in rain But listen— even a scar is proof of where the skin refused to disappear Even a bruise was once a map even the wreckage learns how to stand [Pre-Chorus] So I kept walking through the small hard hours through the cheap fluorescent rooms through the names I swallowed to stay alive And every breath said you can begin again you can begin again [Chorus] Say my name like it still matters say my name like the room will answer say my name and I will come back I will come back [Bridge] If you find me tired do not call me weak I have been carrying weather in my ribs If you find me changing do not call it leaving I am only learning how to live in my own skin [Final Chorus] Say my name like it still matters say my name like the room will answer say my name and I will come back I will come back Say my name and I will come back say my name I will come back
