Paroles

There was always a version of me
Packing lightly by the door
Keeping one eye on the distance
Even while asking for more
She knew all the clever exits
All the ways to leave unseen
Made a whole religion out of running
Before anything got deep
I used to think survival
Meant never staying long
Then you loved me without asking
For the parts of me to be gone
For the version that stayed
I light a little candle
For the girl who didn't turn this
Into another almost
For the version that stayed
I leave the window open
She was brave in such a quiet way
No one saw it but I know it
She let the silence breathe between us
Didn't rush to fill the air
Didn't call tenderness a warning
Didn't vanish when you cared
She kept both feet in the moment
When old panic said to run
Held my shaking like a message
Not a reason to come undone
No parade, no confetti
No dramatic change of scene
Just a softer kind of courage
Learning how to live in me
For the version that stayed
I light a little candle
For the girl who didn't turn this
Into another almost
For the version that stayed
I leave the window open
She was brave in such a quiet way
No one saw it but I know it
Maybe growth is not a spotlight
Maybe it is this instead
Choosing not to leave the table
When the truth gets said
Choosing not to break the moment
Just because it matters now
Trusting love can touch my life
Without erasing what I am
For the version that stayed
I light a little candle
For the girl who didn't turn this
Into another almost
For the version that stayed
I leave the window open
She was brave in such a quiet way
No one saw it but I know it
There was always a version of me
I just had to wait till now
To meet her in the doorway
And let her teach me how
