Name My Pain

Verse 1

They measure me in inches and in pounds

Say I'm too small to hold a sound

Too tiny for the room

Too quiet for the boom

Pre-Chorus

I built a body out of other people's words

Carried every comment like a weight I never chose

And I smiled through the small talk

Smiled through the noise

Chorus

I am more than what they see

More than skin and bone and history

I am loud inside this frame

You don't get to name my pain

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You don't get to name my pain

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You don't get to name my pain

Verse 2

I learned to shrink before I learned to stand

Took the mirror's verdict like a ruling from a hand

But the smaller that I made myself

The louder grew the ache

Pre-Chorus

I swallowed every joke and every sideways glance

Turned my body to a battlefield I never asked to dance

But I'm done apologizing

Done explaining why

Chorus

I am more than what they see

More than skin and bone and history

I am loud inside this frame

You don't get to name my pain

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You don't get to name my pain

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You don't get to name my pain

Bridge

Let me be enough

Let me be enough

Let me be enough

Just the way I am

Chorus

I am more than what they see

More than skin and bone and history

I am loud inside this frame

You don't get to name my pain

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You don't get to name my pain

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You don't get to name my pain
