Lyrics

[Intro]
Breath held thin as drywall dust
Back to the paint, shoulders tucked in
Mouth full of little words I never meant

[Verse 1]
Doorways remember the shape I made
Flat as a shadow, polite as a stain
Arms folded tight like keep-out tape
I learned to read rooms by holding my rain
Whispered an answer to every ache
"Sorry" for standing where my feet had stayed

[Build]

[Chorus]
I stand up like thunder in the frame I tried to break
I open every inch I ever tried to fake
I'm done saying sorry for the space I take
Let the floorboards carry all the weight I make
Fill the air, let every wall awake
I'm done saying sorry for the space I take

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I wore smallness like a safety pin
Counting tiles, counting ways to thin
Bit my name back, swallowed my own wind
But my lungs learn wider, my mouth relearns shape
I taste the volume I was taught to hate

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I stand up like thunder in the frame I tried to break
I open every inch I ever tried to fake
I'm done saying sorry for the space I take
Hear it in the windows, in the glass that starts to shake
All the room I carry won’t be filed away
I'm done saying sorry for the space I take
(for the space I take)

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I touch the wall where I used to disappear
Breath steady, hands unfolded here
I mouth the word that kept me small—sor—
And let its ghost fall through the floor

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I’m done saying sorry for the space I take
I fill the room and leave the echo in my wake
