Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I learned your silence before I learned
What silence really meant
Carried little sentences
From one house to the next
“Tell your mother…”
“Tell your father…”
Like I was old enough to know
Which words were mine to carry
And which ones weren’t my own
[Pre-Chorus]
So I became careful
I learned to read the room
I thought keeping everybody happy
Was something I had to do
[Chorus]
I was standing between your words
Trying not to let them fall
Too young to understand
I was never meant to hold them all
And now when voices change
I still feel ten years old
Trying to keep the peace
Trying to carry what I’m told
But I’m learning
Slowly learning
I don’t have to anymore
[Verse 2]
I grew into the kind of person
Who says sorry before she speaks
Who feels responsible for everyone
And forgets what she needs
I thought love meant fixing
Every silence, every fight
I thought if somebody was hurting
Then somehow I wasn’t doing it right
[Pre-Chorus]
But now I see the little girl
Standing halfway through the door
Trying to solve a story
That was written years before
[Chorus]
I was standing between your words
Trying not to let them fall
Too young to understand
I was never meant to hold them all
And now when voices change
I still feel ten years old
Trying to keep the peace
Trying to carry what I’m told
But I’m learning
Slowly learning
I don’t have to anymore
[Bridge]
Maybe healing isn’t forgetting
Maybe it’s finally knowing why
Certain things still hurt me
Even after all this time
Maybe growing up is telling her
“You can put the message down
You were never their connection
You were just a child somehow”
[Final Chorus]
I was standing between your words
But I’m stepping out at last
I can love you both
Without carrying the past
And when the room gets heavy
I can breathe and let it go
I don’t have to fix it
I don’t have to always know
I’m still learning
Still forgiving
Still becoming someone new
And the little girl between you
Is finally walking through
[Outro]
No more messages
No more choosing sides
Just a little girl
Learning she survived
