Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said you’re proud of me Coffee steam between our hands Said you’d be there come what may Said you’d try to understand [Pre-Chorus] Then we’re in that waiting room Buzzing lights and rubber chairs Doctor says “She ” like it’s nothing You cut through the air [Chorus] You say she You say he Pull the ground right out from under me You say love Then you bleed On the name that lets me finally breathe You hold me Then you hit me with your “he” And it breaks me [Verse 2] Car ride home The silence burns You tap the wheel You change the words “Stop this phase You’re still my son” Like my life is something you can turn [Pre-Chorus] I’m staring at the window Counting raindrops as they fall Trying not to disappear Inside your “that’s not you at all” [Chorus] You say she You say he Pull the ground right out from under me You say love Then you bleed On the name that lets me finally breathe You hold me Then you hit me with your “he” And it breaks me [Bridge] I’m not your headline to correct Not a spelling you can fix I am sore bones Soft voice Real breath I am here in every risk If you can’t say my name right Can you really say you care? I’m your child standing shaking Right in front of you Right there [Chorus] You say she You say he Pull the ground right out from under me You say love Then you bleed On the name that lets me finally breathe [Outro] One day I’ll hold myself The way I wished you’d hold me Until then I keep repeating Who I am Who I am Quietly

Stripped indie-folk ballad with soft fingerpicked guitar, warm upright bass, and intimate female vocals right in front of the mix. Verses stay hushed and fragile; chorus blooms with subtle harmonies and a pad swelling underneath. Bridge leans into a cracked, almost spoken delivery, then final chorus falls back to nearly a cappella before a gentle guitar outro.
