Two Names

[Verse 1] I go by she When I wanna bloom Soft in the chest And bright in the room I get sentimental I feel too much Kind of fragile sometimes One touch, I clutch I like good times I like loud laughter I like pretty mess And the rush after She’s the one Who lets me play Who wants the fun In a reckless way [Pre-Chorus] Then him steps in Heavy on my back Quiet with the weight I don’t talk much back I keep it buried I keep it steel Some days I’m armor Some days I kneel [Chorus] She and him Both in me She and him Let me breathe She and him I don’t pick She is soft He holds it thick She and him Both are real She and him Both I feel She and him Call my name Same old heart Different flame [Verse 2] Him is the one With dust on his sleeves Carrying the roof While nobody sees I hold a lot I won’t complain I swallow the hurt And feed the rain I hardly open What I keep inside But that don’t mean I’ve never cried It just means I learned To bite the wire Stand in the cold And walk through fire [Pre-Chorus] Then she comes back With a trembling smile Kind eyes up front And a softer style She says, “Let me in” I say, “Stay” We both survive In our own way [Chorus] She and him Both in me She and him Let me breathe She and him I don’t pick She is soft He holds it thick She and him Both are real She and him Both I feel She and him Call my name Same old heart Different flame [Bridge] I’m not split I’m a full damn storm Tender and tough In the same torn form One side laughs One side locks One side breaks One side rocks [Final Chorus] She and him Both in me She and him Let me breathe She and him I don’t pick She is soft He holds it thick She and him Both are real She and him Both I feel She and him Call my name Same old heart Different flame
