You

I carry her with me;

You wore your heart outside your chest;

You gave your best to every guest;

You've been so far, you're broken too;

You blamed yourself the way you do;

You swallowed every careless word;

You stayed so quiet when unheard;

You tried to fit inside their hands;

You disappeared without a plan;

And I carried that girl for so long;

Didn't know she was never wrong;

I'm not that girl, not anymore;

Not the one who waits by an empty door;

I'm not that girl, she's long gone;

But I carry her with me as

I walk on;

You never scream when I scream;

Was time you never ever drew a single line;

You never let the anger rise;

You never let them see you cry;

You never asked for what you earned;

You never let the bridges burn;

You never knew you could be free;

You never knew, you never believed;

And I carried that girl so long;

Now I'm singing her song;

I am not that girl, not anymore;

Not the one who waits;

By an empty door;

I am not that girl;

She's long gone;

But I carry her with me;

As I walk on;

The summer and the ashes;

A fire learned to breathe;

And every time I stand up now;

She's the roots beneath my feet;

She didn't disappear;

She just turned into steel;

And now the whole world hears her;

Every time I speak;

I am not that girl, not anymore;

Not the one who waits by an empty door;

I am not that girl, she is long gone;

But I carry her with me as

I walk on;

I carry her with me;

As I walk on;

I carry her with me;
