Lyrics
[Verse 1] I kept the door chained from the inside Counted every crack across the frame You found me with my hands still shaking And called the wreckage by my name The room was built to make me smaller Every breath came back as blame But you stood there without a sermon You only said, “Get up again” [Pre-Chorus] I’m not clean, I’m not cured I’m still carrying the weight But the pulse beneath the damage Has a reason left to stay [Chorus] If I fall, don’t let me disappear Pull me through the worst of it I can feel the ground give way But I won’t surrender to it Every scar is proof I crossed What was meant to bury me When the whole world turns its back You are where I choose to be [Verse 2] There are names I never answer There are years I leave unread Old photographs in broken boxes Still know every word I said I mistook the ache for silence Let the fear become my skin Now I’m tearing out the hinges Letting something living in [Pre-Chorus] I’m not whole, I’m not sure I still flinch at open space But the fire under all this ruin Won’t be taught to know its place [Chorus] If I fall, don’t let me disappear Pull me through the worst of it I can feel the ground give way But I won’t surrender to it Every scar is proof I crossed What was meant to bury me When the whole world turns its back You are where I choose to be [Bridge] No more kneeling to the voice That fed me every lie No more trading all my breath For one more alibi I have crawled through every warning I have slept beside the blame Now I’m standing in the wreckage And I’m taking back my name [Breakdown] Take it back Take it back I am more than what you made Take it back Take it back I will not become the grave [Final Chorus] If I fall, don’t let me disappear Pull me through the worst of it Let the ceiling split apart I was never meant to fit Every scar is proof I crossed What was meant to bury me When the whole world turns its back You are where I choose to be [Outro] I’m still here I’m still here And that is enough for me
