Folded Hands in the Mirror

Lyrics

Verse 1
Used to hide in hand-me-downs
Baggy sleeves and quiet towns
Smiling in those pictures
But I never felt like me
Tried to fit in borrowed names
Chasing someone else's flame
Every "sorry" on my tongue
Was just me begging to be free

Chorus
Now I'm folding careful hands in the mirror
Saying "girl, I see you clearer"
Every scar and every story on my skin
I ain't running from the broken
I'm in love with what they've opened
I finally know who I am
And I love who I've become now (oh yeah)

Verse 2
Wrote my worth on someone’s door
Waited on their "yeah, you're sure"
Every "stay" and every "go"
Deciding how I breathed
But one night on that empty road
Tear-stained shirt and overcoat
I turned down that old doubt
Like a song I didn't need

Chorus
Now I'm folding careful hands in the mirror
Saying "girl, I see you clearer"
Every scar and every story on my skin
I ain't running from the broken
I'm in love with what they've opened
I finally know who I am
And I love who I've become now

Bridge
I'm the laugh lines from my mother
I'm my daddy's steady heart
I'm the prayer I thought was unanswered
Just taking the long way through the dark
So I’ll dance here in this kitchen
Bare feet on the tile
Every flaw a little freedom
Every tear a softer smile (mmm)

Chorus
Now I'm folding careful hands in the mirror
Saying "girl, I couldn’t be prouder"
Every scar and every story on my skin
I ain't running from the broken
I'm in love with what they've opened
I finally know who I am
And I love who I've become now

Outro
Yeah, I finally know who I am
And I love who I've become now
