[Verse 1]
She’s sitting at the table, quiet still
Surrounded by too many little lies
Every glance is asking something of her
But no one asks how much she hides
She smiles softly for the room
And swallows pressure like cold smoke
Everyone just wants her light
But no one sees her burned-out home
[Pre-Chorus]
She gathers herself from a thousand shards
Takes a breath, holds on tight
But every hand that reaches out
Just wants her to lose herself inside
[Chorus]
I’m healing, piece by piece
But you keep pulling at me
I’m healing, piece by piece
And you tear me apart here
I’m not your mirror
Not your silent “yes”
I’m healing, piece by piece
Even if it’s been harder
[Verse 2]
There’s that friend with the loud, big mouth
Who plays her wounds down small
And the girlfriend who tells her
She’s too sensitive for this world at all
She loves too long, believes too much
That warmth will stay if she gives it away
But in a circle of empty hearts
She’s forgotten how to love herself again
[Pre-Chorus]
She just wants out of this room
Out of hands that pull and cling
She’s learning not to give her heart
To those who only crave the feeling
[Chorus]
I’m healing, piece by piece
But you keep pulling at me
I’m healing, piece by piece
And you tear me apart here
I’m not your mirror
Not your silent “yes”
I’m healing, piece by piece
Even if it’s been harder
[Bridge]
Today she leaves the door closed
Lets the ringing fade away
Sits down beside her own name
And learns to face it once again
No more guilt upon her skin
No applause for her pain
Just a small, tired kind of hoping
And a warm, new heart again
