made

Lyrics

Style: Bedroom Pop
Tempo: Mid-tempo, reflective
(Verse 1)
Sitting in the quiet of a cold front room
Walking on the eggshells that you left in June
Every single word feels like a heavy weight
Trying to decode the things you say you hate
I used to bend until I’d almost break
Paying for the choices that I didn't make
But looking at my hands, I'm starting to see
The space you left between who you are and me
(Chorus)
You think you broke me down to the floor
Like I'm just a shadow behind the door
But every sharp edge, every bitter phrase
Turned into the fire that clears the haze
Yeah, you built the walls, you set the grade
But look at the person that I just made
Yeah, look at the person that I just made
(Verse 2)
You wanted a mirror just to see your face
But I am an ocean you can't erase
It took a little time to learn to breathe on my own
To realize a house isn't always a home
The silence you gave when I needed a lift
Turned out to be a strange kind of gift
'Cause I found my voice in the quietest space
And I'm moving forward at my own pace
(Chorus)
You think you broke me down to the floor
Like I'm just a shadow behind the door
But every sharp edge, every bitter phrase
Turned into the fire that clears the haze
Yeah, you built the walls, you set the grade
But look at the person that I just made
Yeah, look at the person that I just made
(Bridge)
It’s a heavy kind of freedom, a complicated grace
To finally stand up and claim my own space
I don't need the anger, I don't need the blame
I'm just taking back the power in my own name
(Guitar Solo / Outro)
(Soft, distorted bedroom pop synth and guitar chords)
Look at what I made...
Out of the pieces you threw away.
Yeah, look at the person that I just made.
(Fade out on a steady, calm beat)
