What I'm Telling You

Lyrics:


[Verse 1]
I was there in the quiet of your childhood room
When you asked in the dark
“Am I seen? Am I known?”
Every tear on your pillow
Every secret you hid
I counted them softly
I called you My kid

[Verse 2]
I was there when they left
When the chair stayed cold
You thought it was your fault
You felt too old
For hope
For help
For starting again
But I sat on the floor with you
Closer than a friend

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ve heard so many angry words
That were never Mine
Let Me clear the noise away
Hear My heart this time

[Chorus]
I’m not walking out on you
I’m not giving up on you
When you’re sure you’ve ruined everything
I still say
“Look what I can do”
I’ve been whispering your name
Through every “Why?” and every wound
This is what I’m telling you
I’m still here
I still choose you

[Verse 3]
I don’t point at your scars just to shame your skin
I remember the day each wound came in
I was holding My breath while they hurt My child
I’ve been planning a healing for a long
Long while

[Verse 4]
You think I only speak in thunder and law
But I bled for your blame
I carried it all
Those nails
That cross
That borrowed grave
Were Me shouting your value
The price I paid

[Pre-Chorus]
You call yourself every name
I would never use
Let Me trade your list of lies
For what is actually true

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You are not the label they stuck on your back
You are not the moment when everything cracked
You are not the habit you still haven’t kicked
You are not the storm that you couldn’t fix

You are the one I ran to meet
The ring
The robe
The sandals on your feet
You are the one I watch at night
Breathing slow while I sing over your life

[Chorus]

[Outro]
When you wake up tired
Thinking
“Nothing’s new”
Listen between your heartbeats
It’s Me saying
“I love you”
