[Verse 1] I count the locks, then count again The kettle clicks; I miss the rain A paper cup caves in my hand I nod like I can understand [Pre-Chorus] Every small mistake gets teeth Every quiet room gets deep [Chorus] There’s a crowded room behind my eyes One says run, one says you’ll be fine Fear draws maps I never chose Doubt keeps score of every no I’m still here beneath the noise Trying to find my own voice [Verse 2] Your message waits beside the sink I read it once, then lose the link The mirror holds a tired face I ask it for a softer place [Pre-Chorus] Some days lift, then lose their ground Some days I can’t turn around [Chorus] There’s a crowded room behind my eyes One says run, one says you’ll be fine Fear draws maps I never chose Doubt keeps score of every no I’m still here beneath the noise Trying to find my own voice [Bridge] If I go quiet, stay awhile Don’t fix the weather, sit and smile Let the hard minute pass its name I’m more than what my nerves proclaim [Final Chorus] There’s a crowded room behind my eyes Still one small thought can hold the line Fear draws maps; I set them down Doubt can talk, but not decide I’m still here, and that is choice Learning how to trust my voice [Outro] One breath, then another One breath, then another
