Played it safe
Stayed in line
Wore your words like borrowed lines
Kept my voice
Soft and small
“I'm fine” written on the wall
But something in me
Wouldn't rest
Like a secret in my chest
Now I hear it
Soft but proud
Floating through the silent crowd
I'm not folding anymore
Not the way I did before
If I lose you, that's okay
Funny how I found my way
I was glowing in your light
Now I'm learning how to shine
If I fall, I'll fall as me
Soft but steady, wild and free
Used to think
Love meant shape
Turning edges just to stay
Every plan
Trimmed to size
Fit your version of “just right”
Now I see, what it cost
Little parts I almost lost
So I'm walking
Through that door
Smiling like I've done before
I'm not folding anymore
Not the way I did before
If I lose you, that's okay
Funny how I found my way
I was glowing in your light
Now I'm learning how to shine
If I fall, I'll fall as me
Soft but certain, finally free
