Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You knew the girl who bent to fit you Soft edges, quiet, folding small You knew the one who stayed too long Trying not to lose it all You heard me speak in careful sentences Afraid of how the truth might land But you never saw me standing In a room I filled with just my hands [Pre-Chorus] I was learning how to hold myself Without asking if I could Saying my own name out loud Like I always should [Chorus] You never met me like this Steady hands, unafraid You never heard how my voice Learned the things you couldn’t say I grew into someone You wouldn’t recognize Not because I changed for you But because I chose my life You never met me like this [Verse 2] I laugh now without looking over For a sign that it’s okay I make decisions in the open I don’t second-guess my way There’s a quiet where the storm was There’s a light I didn’t borrow And I don’t need to chase a feeling I already have tomorrow [Pre-Chorus] I don’t shrink to make it easy I don’t twist to be understood I stand inside my own reflection And it finally feels like home should [Chorus] You never met me like this Steady hands, unafraid You never heard how my voice Learned the things you couldn’t say I grew into someone You wouldn’t recognize Not because I changed for you But because I chose my life You never met me like this [Bridge] Sometimes I wonder if you’d notice If we passed on a crowded street Would you see the light I’m holding now Or just the ghost you used to meet But I don’t need that answer anymore I don’t need you to believe There’s a whole life in me now You were never there to see [Final Chorus] You never met me like this Open heart, solid ground You never heard how my silence Turned into a different sound I grew into someone Who won’t disappear to survive Not because you let me go But because I chose my life [Outro] I learned to call myself home And you never knew that name
