Lyrics

Mama said
"Boy Keep your voice down"
My words fell to the floor
Rainbow hidden in my backpack
Praying they don't slam that door
Friday night lights and the bleachers
Where everyone learned how to shout
I learned how to shrink my shoulders
Learned how to fade right out

I'm enough
I'm enough
Every scar
Every soft place
Every kind of love
You can point
You can laugh
You can call my bluff
But I'm still here
And I'm still tough
Front porch brave
Heart wide open
I am
I am enough

It was Junior year
He caught me in the hallway
His hand tangled up in mine
Fluorescent glare like a siren
Thought we'd crossed some holy line
They said
"Son That road is crooked"
Like I'm some map gone wrong
But crooked roads still reach the sunrise
I don’t care if I have to drive it alone

I’ve carried that shame

that you said I deserve

and I made it out the other side
I learned my name

in the echo of silence

when I stopped letting you decide
I’m not who you broke

I’m who I became

when I chose to stay alive
