I’m Still Here Under the Rain

I wore your name like glass
Pressed in my fist all day
Every room you left
Still has your shape in it
My tongue keeps finding blood
Where I bit back truth
I smile at the table
Then I split in two

Say it louder
Say it plain
I'm still here
Under the rain
My ribs are a locked gate
Your hands on the chain
Pull me open
Call my name

Break me slow
Break me clean
You know where the hurt lives in me
Pull the thread
Watch me fall
I was never whole at all
Break me slow
Break me clean
Say my name like you still need me
If I burn
Let it show
I am made of paper cuts and gold

Your shoes by the door
Like a ghost that pays rent
I kept the texts unsent
Like a knife in my pocket
You moved on so fast
I learned the sound of that
A phone face down
And a room gone black

Say it louder
Say it plain
I'm still here
Under the rain
My ribs are a locked gate
Your hands on the chain
Pull me open
Call my name

Break me slow
Break me clean
You know where the hurt lives in me
Pull the thread
Watch me fall
I was never whole at all
Break me slow
Break me clean
Say my name like you still need me
If I burn
Let it show
I am made of paper cuts and gold

I kept your light
In the back of my mouth
I kept your lie
Till it choked me out
Now I spit it up
On the floor in the dark
And I hear my heart
And I hear my heart

Scream it out
Scream it out
I am not your wound to mouth
Scream it out
Scream it out
I won't drown to keep you proud
I was here
I was real
I was every cut you sealed
Scream it out
Scream it out
I am the blade you never held

Break me slow
Break me clean
You know where the hurt lives in me
Pull the thread
Watch me rise
From the ash you left behind
Break me slow
Break me clean
Say my name like you still need me
If I burn
Let it glow
I am made of paper cuts and gold
