[Verse 1]
I wear my name
Like a borrowed coat
Too big in the shoulders
Too cold at the throat
The room goes quiet
When I walk in
Like I’m the last page
Nobody wants to begin
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still breathe
I still stand here
Hands in my sleeves
Heart full of fear
And if you see me
Look me in the eye
I’m still here
I’m still alive
[Chorus]
I’m not gone
I’m not gone
Even here, I belong
I’m not gone
I’m not gone
Hold on, hold on
[Verse 2]
The chair by the window
Knows my shape
The plate on the table
Waits for a plate
I count the footsteps
Down the hall
Like maybe one of them
Could answer my call
The sky keeps moving
Through the glass
I let it pass
I let it pass
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still breathe
I still stand here
Hands in my sleeves
Heart full of fear
And if you see me
Look me in the eye
I’m still here
I’m still alive
[Chorus]
I’m not gone
I’m not gone
Even here, I belong
I’m not gone
I’m not gone
Hold on, hold on
[Bridge]
If the world won’t open
I will make a door
With every scar
And every no-before
I was small for a season
Now I know my voice
It shakes, it breaks
But it is my choice
[Final Chorus]
I’m not gone
I’m not gone
Even here, I belong
I’m not gone
I’m not gone
Hold on, hold on
I’m not gone
I’m not gone
You can find me in the dark
