Текст песни
[Verse 1: Female] I left your letter by the kettle where the morning couldn't read Every word was folded inward like a wound beneath the sleeve You said, “Give it time,” as if time was a room I could step through I held my breath beside the doorway and waited there for you [Verse 1: Male] I found your coat behind the stairwell still carrying the rain I wanted to say I’d made it better but I only learned your pain So I stood there with the answer that I should have said before While the house kept turning quiet on the other side of the door [Pre-Chorus: Female] Don’t call this healing when I’m only learning how to hide [Pre-Chorus: Male] Don’t call me fearless I’m just tired of stepping aside [Chorus: Both] We are not the wreckage we are what survived Raise your shaking hands now let the buried thing arrive If the whole world wants us smaller let it hear us from inside We are not the wreckage we are still alive [Verse 2: Female] I wore your silence like a necklace until it cut my skin Then I broke the clasp on purpose and let the cold air in There were names I stopped defending there were rooms I wouldn’t cross I can mourn what made me smaller without calling it a loss [Verse 2: Male] I was good at being distant good at making need look weak But your voice across the hallway found the words I couldn’t speak Now I’m standing in the doorway not to ask you to return Just to tell you I am listening and I’m ready to be burned [Bridge: Female] I won’t make a shrine of the damage I won’t polish every scar [Bridge: Male] I won’t confuse being broken with forgetting who we are [Bridge: Both] Take the match from my hand Take the blame from your mouth We have carried enough We are walking out [Final Chorus: Both] We are not the wreckage we are what survived Raise your shaking hands now let the buried thing arrive If the whole world wants us smaller let it hear us from inside We are not the wreckage we are still alive Still alive Still alive [Outro: Female and Male] Leave the letter by the kettle let the morning read it through I am not the girl who waited You are not the man you knew
