The Year I Don't Talk About

Intro (Ah) I'm going to name it Verse There was a winter that took the year with it, I stopped counting round about March. I was polite. I answered the phone. I was hollow, and I was starch. Pre-Chorus People said you'll come out changed like it's a promise, like it's a door. Nobody says you come out slower, and you don't get the old one back anymore. Chorus That's the year I don't talk about — I'm talking about it now. Not to be brave, not to be healed, just to put it down somehow. Verse I kept a light on out of habit in a room I didn't use. I ate standing up at the counter and I called that self-abuse. Chorus That's the year I don't talk about — I'm talking about it now. Not to be brave, not to be healed, just to put it down somehow. Bridge Little. That's the word that got me. It was enormous while I stood inside. From here it's a season with a start and an end, and I'm the one who survived. Chorus That's the year I don't talk about — I'm talking about it now. Not to be brave, not to be healed, just to put it down somehow. Outro (Ah) I said it out loud and the ceiling stayed up. (Ah) still standing. That will do for today.
