[Intro ] I got pretty good at hiding What I couldn't make disappear Tucked every truth behind my teeth And smiled like nobody could hear [Verse 1] I don't know when the silence started Or when it learned to sound like me I carried every unfinished sentence Like a weight nobody else could see Then one little word cut through the quiet And suddenly I'm seventeen mistakes deep All the walls I spent years building Couldn't keep the memories asleep [Pre-Chorus ] So if I step away Don't think I'm running I'm only trying to find The pieces I keep dropping I'm learning that forward Doesn't always look like leaving Sometimes it's standing still Long enough to feel something breathing [Chorus ] Don't close the door yet I'm closer than I've ever been I know I look lost But I'm finding my way back in Some nights I shake Some nights I disappear But I'm not the person Who used to live inside that fear If I fall apart Let me fall without letting go I'm learning how to carry What I was never taught to hold Don't close the door yet I'm almost home I'm almost home [Verse 2] I found an old version of myself Under everything I thought I'd lost She wasn't broken like I told myself She was just tired of paying the cost There were pieces I called weakness That were really just scars with a voice And the things I spent my life regretting Were sometimes never really my choice [Pre-Chorus 2] Now every breath feels different Every mirror tells the truth I don't recognize the woman But I recognize the proof I'm still here Still becoming Still afraid sometimes Still running But for once I'm running toward something [Chorus ] Don't close the door yet Don't turn away from me I'm still learning how to stand Inside the skin I'm trying to be I may go quiet I may lose my way But every time I disappear I'm fighting my way back Don't close the door yet I'm closer than I seem There's still a little life in me That I haven't learned to see If I fall Let me find my feet If I break Let me breathe Don't close the door yet I'm almost home [Bridge ] And you... You never asked me to be better You never told me not to hurt You just stayed long enough For me to remember I was worth the wait I don't need you to save me... I just need you Not to mistake my healing For me leaving [Outro ] I'm still here I'm still becoming And this time... I'm coming home.
