Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
I found your handwriting on the back of a postcard
Faded ink, my name in the corner like a comet scar
There’s a photo on the mantel—me in a paper crown
You clapping in the front row, pretending not to frown
I trace the dreams you once held, the maps pinned to the wall
I carry your small suitcase of hopes down every hall
Quiet as a confession, I practice every line
Soft as candlelight, I try to be the child you designed
[Pre-Chorus]
But glass shows someone grown who never learned your script
I reach for what you planned and breathe out something different
[Chorus 1 — Plea]
Still your kid, trying to make you proud
Still your kid, whispering through the crowd
I fold the plans you made into the seams of my nights
Still your kid, holding on to borrowed lights
[Verse 2]
I remember the school play—my voice cracked on cue
You pretended that my awkward lines were gold and true
Trophies gather dust, like chapters we outgrew
I’ve traded suitcases for restless shoes
There’s a letter in my pocket I promised I'd return
It’s the shape of every lesson I learned and couldn’t learn
I’m not the statue you sketched in the margin of your plans
But I’m the skin that stayed beneath the steady of your hands
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I hear the echo of your hopes in the hallway light
I try to fit the pieces but some edges won’t bite
[Chorus 2 — Defiant]
Still your kid, even if I break the mold
Still your kid, even when I’m not what you told
I bend and blaze in ways you never thought I would
Still your kid, raw and honest, scarred but good
[Bridge]
The night swells into a chorus behind my ribs
Beats pull doubt like tides off the beaches of our kids
My voice becomes the weather—warm and then it storms
I stamp my footprints on the floorboards of both our forms
I won’t erase the lines you drew from back when skies were clear
I’ll color outside them now because the truth is—I'm here
[Breakdown — Soft]
I might have lost the blueprint of who you wanted made
But love’s the kind of stubborn thing that doesn’t fade
[Final Chorus — Resolved]
Still your kid, still the name you cried
Still your kid, the heart you helped raise inside
I’m standing in the doorway of the life I’ve come to hold
Still your kid, with hands grown warm, with hands grown bold
[Outro]
Still your kid, scars and all, still your homegrown child
Still your kid—I am who I am, tender and wild
