Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I learned to be small
Before I knew my name
Keep my eyes on the floor
Make my face look the same
The door had a lock
And the room had a stain
I counted the cracks
Just to get through the pain
[Pre-Chorus]
No one came when I called
No one heard me cry
I held my own hand
Through the longest night
[Chorus]
Forgotten little hands
Still reaching for you
Forgotten little hands
What was I supposed to do?
Forgotten little hands
I was only a child
Forgotten little hands
Still shaking all this while
[Verse 2]
There were bruises I hid
Under sleeves, under lies
A quiet little house
With the storm in its eyes
I got good at the steps
Of not taking up space
Learned the sound of the stairs
And the look on a face
[Pre-Chorus]
No one came when I called
No one heard me break
I held my breath in the dark
Till the dark gave way
[Chorus]
Forgotten little hands
Still reaching for you
Forgotten little hands
What was I supposed to do?
Forgotten little hands
I was only a child
Forgotten little hands
Still shaking all this while
[Bridge]
If you find that kid
Tell them it wasn't love
Tell them it wasn't their fault
Tell them they're enough
I still carry the room
But it doesn't own me now
I was buried in silence
I am speaking out
[Final Chorus]
Forgotten little hands
Now I’m reaching through
Forgotten little hands
And I’m leaving with the truth
Forgotten little hands
I was only a child
Forgotten little hands
Now I'm living all the while

Style
Alt-pop ballad with slow pulsing drums, muted piano arpeggios, and a hollow low synth bed; verse stays close and sparse, pre-chorus widens with string lifts and breathy doubles, chorus opens into stacked harmonies and a repeated anchor phrase. Whispered ad-libs tuck under key lines, a tape-stop swell slips into the bridge, and the final chorus adds bright but aching upper notes. Intimate close-mic vocal, clean and spacious mix with a heavy emotional center.
