Almost August and I’m finally breathing
I spent a year trying to be small
To fit in rooms that had no room for me at all
Cut my hair, cut the people out
Learned to say “no” and mean it out loud
And it hurt, but it worked
I’m starting to like my own words
This is almost August
And I’m not the girl I was in May
I’m messy, I’m trying, I’m okay
Dancing in my room with the lights off
Singing to no one
Almost August
And I’m coming back to me
No big apology, no closure scene
Just me choosing me for once, it seems
Coffee tastes better when I drink it alone
My bed feels bigger in the best way home
I don’t need a reason to stay
I just needed a reason to stay
This is almost August
And I’m not the girl I was in May
I’m messy, I’m trying, I’m okay
Dancing in my room with the lights off
Singing to no one
Almost August
And I’m coming back to me
