Cut Me Open

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I built the shape they wanted

Stitched my mouth to fit their mold

Every version I outgrew

Became a story they still hold

They hand me back my old skin

Pre-Chorus

Wear it wear it

Smile like you mean the part

Wear it wear it

They never asked about my heart

Chorus

Cut me open

You will find no one you knew

Cut me open

This hollow frame is walking through

A life you painted over me

A stranger you refuse to see

Post-Chorus

Let go

Let go

Verse 2

Fingers point at what I became

Quiet rooms that I outran

Their expectations fossilize

A boy they buried in a plan

I am not the debt you hold

Pre-Chorus

Why does your voice still land

Why does your judgment stand

Why do I still reach for hands

That never understand

Chorus

So ask me nothing

You will get no name tonight

Ask me nothing

This quiet is a kind of fight

You carved a future out of stone

I am the crack you cannot own

Post-Chorus

Let go

Let go

Bridge

Three words in the wreckage

I am here

Three words in the ruin

I am here

Not your mirror

Not your fear

Breakdown

Break the glass of what you made

Let the shards fall where they lie

I was never yours to shape

I was never yours to name

Chorus

So let the silence settle

You are owed no answer here

Let the silence settle

I am learning not to fear

Who I become without your hand

You were never meant to understand

Outro

Mm

Let go
