You're Still in My Head

Intro

You're not here anymore...

So why do I still hear you?

Verse 1

Straighten up, stand tall, don't cry

Smile sweet, look them in the eye

Every little word you said

Built a room inside my head

I left the house, I changed the scene

Still your shadow follows me

Different walls, another day

Same old voice that never fades

Pre-Chorus

I know it's mine now

But it sounds like you

Chorus

You're still in my head

When the room gets quiet

Telling me I'm too much

Or not enough to try it

You're still in my head

But I'm learning slow

Just because you said it once

Doesn't make it so

Verse 2

I apologize before I speak

Call myself small, call others pleased

Bend so no one gets upset

Then wonder why I'm so bent

I learned kindness mixed with fear

That's why I disappear

But gentle things can still be true

Even if they didn't come from you

Pre-Chorus

I'm finding my voice

Under all that noise

Chorus

You're still in my head

When the room gets quiet

Telling me I'm too much

Or not enough to try it

You're still in my head

But I'm learning slow

Just because you said it once

Doesn't make it so

Bridge

Maybe healing isn't loud

Maybe it's one brave thought out loud

Final Chorus

You're still in my head

But not in control

I can hear the echo fade

As I become whole

You're still in my head

Less every day

And I'm finally learning

I don't have to stay
