Lyrics

You said my name like a warning
Like I broke the family frame
Closed the door on every birthday
Left my chair there
I lived in the shame

I learned to love myself for you
tucked myself in tight at night
Found some friends who called me brother
Held my hands up to the light

I still send my love your way
Even if it never finds you
You can keep my photograph
Or you can put it out of view
I forgive the words you used
I forgive what you called me
I've moved on, without you
And those old ghosts don’t haunt me

Someone called out in the distance
Said they'd seen me on a screen
Said I looked a little taller
Like I’d finally learned to breathe

I don’t need you at my table
I don't cry for what's left
I made peace with every silence
Laid your absence down to rest

I still send my love your way
Even if it never finds you
You can keep my photograph
Or you can put it out of view
I forgive the words you used
I forgive what you called me
I've moved on, without you
And those old wounds don’t own me

If you ever change your story
If you ever cross that line
You won’t owe me any sorry
Just ask
And I’ll make the time (yeah)

I still send my love your way
Even if it never finds you
You can keep my photograph
Or you can put it out of view
I forgive the years we lost
I forgive what you won’t see
I've moved on, without you
And what you did can’t break me
