Lyric

You looked at me like

It was barely a bruise

You said, "that's nothing"

Like you got to choose

I held it in my hands

It was shaking there

Small to you

But it lived in my care

I tried to speak

You changed the room

Made my hurt

Fit your idea of truth

You said it was nothing

But I felt it

You said it was nothing

But I kept it

You said it was small

I wore it all day

You said it was nothing

It stayed

Now I hear your voice

In the gaps I leave

Telling me again

What I'm allowed to need

I learned your kind of mercy

Keeps score in gold

Mine came quiet

And it still felt cold

I tried to speak

You changed the room

Made my hurt

Fit your idea of truth

You said it was nothing

But I felt it

You said it was nothing

But I kept it

You said it was small

I wore it all day

You said it was nothing

It stayed

Maybe it was light

In your hands

Maybe you forgot

What it can do

But mine was real

And it stayed real

Even when you

Wouldn't look at the bruise

You said it was nothing

But I felt it

You said it was nothing

But I kept it

You said it was small

I wore it all day

You said it was nothing

It stayed
