[Verse 1]
I keep a little weather in the pocket of my coat
A folded-up confession and a promise I can quote
When the room gets too crowded, I step outside and breathe
Put the truth beneath my tongue, give it room to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been carrying these feelings like a letter never sent
But every scar has language, every tear has evidence
[Chorus]
I’ve got a lyrical heart, beating plain and loud
Turning all my broken pieces into something I can say out loud
If you lean in close, you’ll hear where I’ve been
A little bit of sorrow, a whole lot of wind
I won’t hide the rhythm, I won’t tear it apart
I’m speaking from the center of a lyrical heart
[Verse 2]
My grandmother’s old chair still remembers how she sang
Sunday morning sunlight resting softly on the fan
She said, “Don’t shrink your spirit just to fit somebody’s frame”
So I carry every lesson like a candle with a flame
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the weight becomes a doorway, now the silence finds a name
I can turn a hard tomorrow into fuel for brighter days
[Chorus]
I’ve got a lyrical heart, beating plain and loud
Turning all my broken pieces into something I can say out loud
If you lean in close, you’ll hear where I’ve been
A little bit of sorrow, a whole lot of wind
I won’t hide the rhythm, I won’t tear it apart
I’m speaking from the center of a lyrical heart
[Bridge]
Come closer, don’t be afraid of the truth
There’s room in this song for the old and the new
Every voice has a color, every life leaves a mark
We are more than what hurt us—we are language in the dark
[Final Chorus]
I’ve got a lyrical heart, beating proud and loud
Turning all my broken pieces into something that can lift this crowd
If you lean in close, you’ll hear where I’ve been
A little bit of sorrow, a whole lot of wind
I’ll give every heartbeat, every bright and tender part
I’m speaking from the center of a lyrical heart
[Outro]
From the center, from the center
I’m speaking from a lyrical heart
