*Verse 1*
I woke up this morning
Couldn't find my name
The mirror showed a stranger
Looking just the same
I reached for a memory
It slipped right through my hand
I built a life worth living
Now I can't understand
I used to know this kitchen
I used to know this street
I used to know the seasons
Now I can't find me
*Chorus*
After I'm gone don't say I faded slow
Don't say I went peaceful don't put on a show
I was still in here I was still alive
Fighting through the silence just to survive
I was here I was breathing
Behind these eyes that stopped believing
I didn't leave I was taken room by room
You watched the lights go out
But I was still in bloom
*Verse 2*
Don't talk around me like the room is empty
Don't use that gentle voice
Like grief that comes too early
I know that something's shifting
I feel the edges blur
But somewhere underneath it
I'm still the one I were
*[Chorus]*
*Bridge*
I grieve myself while I'm still standing here
That's the cruelest thing about it
Mourning while I'm near
Some days it lifts and I can almost see it clear
And then it closes over
And the world just disappears
Don't you dare decide I'm gone
Before I'm actually gone
Just let me know I'm not invisible
Just let me feel my name
*Verse 3*
I'm not just a diagnosis
I'm not just what I've lost
I'm every year behind me
Every bridge I ever crossed
I'm in here I'm still in here
Underneath the haze
Don't let the fog convince you
That I'm already erased
*[Chorus]*
*Outro*
Some mornings I wake early
And everything is bright
I remember who I love
I remember getting it right
Hold me in that morning
Not the afternoon
I was here
I was here
I was here before I left the room
