Verse 1
I still park in the far corner
Like I’m not trying to be seen
I still talk to the dashboard
When the road gets in between
Everybody’s moving forward
Like it’s easy, like it’s clean
I’m just trying to make it home
Without turning back to who I used to be
⸻
Pre-Chorus
They keep asking what I’m chasing
Like I know what I’m running from
⸻
Chorus
I don’t break like I did before
But I don’t feel safe like I did back then
I don’t drown in the same old storms
But I don’t sleep through the rain anymore
I don’t disappear in the dark
I don’t beg for a second chance
I don’t fall apart on the floor
But I don’t feel the ending anymore
I don’t know what I am anymore
⸻
Verse 2
I keep every light off at night
So the silence feels honest
There’s a number I won’t delete
Even though I don’t call it
I’m not haunted by ghosts
I’m haunted by habits
By the way I still wait for you
Like I don’t even notice I have it
⸻
Pre-Chorus
They keep saying I should be proud
Like surviving is something you win
⸻
Chorus
I don’t break like I did before
But I don’t feel safe like I did back then
I don’t drown in the same old storms
But I don’t sleep through the rain anymore
I don’t disappear in the dark
I don’t beg for a second chance
I don’t fall apart on the floor
But I don’t feel the ending anymore
I don’t know what I am anymore
⸻
Bridge
I thought the hard part was staying
Turns out it’s staying the same
I don’t miss the pain
I miss knowing my name
⸻
Final Chorus
I don’t break like I did before
But I don’t feel whole like I used to be
I don’t scream at the ceiling now
But the quiet still lives in me
I don’t lose every piece I love
But I don’t know where the rest all went
I don’t fall apart on the floor
But I don’t feel like I’m finished yet
I don’t know who I am anymore
⸻
Outro
I’m still here.
Just different.
