Lyrics

[Intro]
You pressed me in a photograph, corners cutting in
My name in lowercase beneath a smaller grin

[Verse 1]
You memorized a girl made small, the hush tucked in my throat
Sorry like loose change, bracing every note
You drew my outline narrow, told me not to take up air
I folded up my thunder just to fit the chair
But bones remember height when no one's looking up

[Build]

[Chorus]
You wouldn't know me now
Outgrew your little frame; the picture couldn't hold
You wouldn't know me now
My name in full length, a sound you can't control
You wouldn't know me now
My shadow floods the walls, it stretches street to cloud
I stand my tallest truth and I won't bend back down
You wouldn't know me now

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
You mouth my name like a question you can't pronounce anymore
You kept the glass; I kept the cut, and stepped through the door
The hush you wrote on me is ink that rains and runs
I learned the weight of no, and how to carry sun

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
You wouldn't know me now
I'm not your borrowed quiet, not a margin on the page
You wouldn't know me now
I broke your little frame; the corners couldn't cage
You wouldn't know me now
I say my name in neon you can't fade or drown
I stand my tallest truth and I won't bend back down
You wouldn't know me now

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
The photograph is honest now; it can't fit what I became
I was always this tall, you just cut me at the frame
Say my name the way it lives, not how you taught it small
You wouldn't know me now

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
My shadow walks ahead of me, wide and proud
You wouldn't know me now
