Verse 1
I wore your favorite color
’Til I forgot what mine looked like
Laughed at all the same punchlines
Even when they landed wrong
Moved furniture inside my head
To make a little extra room
For every version of myself
You needed in the moment
Pre-Chorus
Funny how a mirror
Can disappear so slow
You don’t see it leaving
Until there’s nowhere left to go
Chorus
Now I’m standing in the kitchen
Hearing my own name again
Like a song I knew as a kid
Coming through the walls
All this time I thought I lost it
Turns out I just turned it down
Now every little piece is waking up
Making its own sound
I don’t need another reason
I don’t need another sign
I’m finally meeting
The person I left behind
Verse 2
The silence felt enormous
The first night I slept alone
No one reaching for the light switch
No one calling it a home
Then the quiet started talking
And it sounded strange at first
Like finding letters from myself
Stuffed inside an old shirt
Pre-Chorus
Funny how the answers
Never really leave
They just wait beneath the surface
For you to finally breathe
Chorus
Now I’m standing in the kitchen
Hearing my own name again
Like a song I knew as a kid
Coming through the walls
All this time I thought I lost it
Turns out I just turned it down
Now every little piece is waking up
Making its own sound

Male Rap Verse
You were shrinking to fit in a frame
Calling it love, calling it fate
Every compromise looked harmless
’Til the whole picture started to fade
Funny thing about cages
Most of them don’t got locks
Just habits dressed up as comfort
And fear wearing somebody’s watch
Now you’re walking with your shoulders back
Looking like you own your face
Looking like the years you spent surviving
Finally got replaced
Ain’t revenge, ain’t proving nothing
Ain’t a headline, ain’t a fight
Just a woman coming home to herself
One small room at a time
⸻
Final Chorus
Now I’m dancing in the kitchen
Spilling coffee, singing loud
Every little flaw I hated
Feels different now
All this time I thought I needed
Someone else to make me whole
Now the echo in the hallway
Sounds a little like my soul
I don’t need another reason
I don’t need another sign
I’m finally meeting
The person I left behind
Outro
The person I left behind
Was waiting the whole time
The whole time
The whole time…
