[Verse 1]
You keep your questions folded in your coat
Beside the train card and the faded note
I read the crease where every answer bends
A careful lie pretending it can mend
[Pre-Chorus]
You say the door was never locked
But I remember every turn
Some truths arrive without a sound
And leave the careful ones to learn
[Chorus]
If you call my name, call it plainly
No borrowed fire, no alibi
I can feel the floor give way beneath me
Still I choose to stand and look you in the eye
When the room goes cold around us
When the last excuse is gone
I will hold the line between us
Till the damage tells the truth it’s built upon
[Verse 2]
Your coffee ring is marked across the file
A little crescent from a borrowed smile
The clock moves on, but nothing here has changed
You make a prison out of being brave
[Pre-Chorus]
You say the past is only dust
Then why does every breath taste dry?
Some doors are closed by consequence
Not every key deserves to turn inside
[Chorus]
If you call my name, call it plainly
No borrowed fire, no alibi
I can feel the floor give way beneath me
Still I choose to stand and look you in the eye
When the room goes cold around us
When the last excuse is gone
I will hold the line between us
Till the damage tells the truth it’s built upon
[Bridge]
I won’t become the thing you feared
I won’t erase what brought me here
Let the silence make its case
Let it settle on your face
[Final Chorus]
If you call my name, call it plainly
Let the honest words arrive
I can feel the floor give way beneath me
Still I choose the harder side of right
When the room goes cold around us
When the last excuse is gone
I will hold the line between us
Till the damage tells the truth it’s built upon
[Outro]
Call it plainly
Call it plainly
I’m still here
