I remember something I used to know
Before I learned how to carry the weight below
It wasn’t loud, didn’t need a name
But it stayed the same underneath the change
I tried to hold it, I tried to find
Something steady in a changing mind
It was never really gone
Just hidden underneath it all
Through the weight, through the fall
It was never really gone
Not something I had to earn
Just something I could return
Through the dark, through it all
It was never really gone
I built it up, I let it break
Learned the difference between give and take
Thought I lost it somewhere in between
All the things I thought I had to be
But every road that led me wrong
Still brought me back where I belong
It was never really gone
Just hidden underneath it all
Through the weight, through the fall
It was never really gone
Not something I had to earn
Just something I could return
Through the dark, through it all
It was never really gone
Like a child who never left
Like a breath inside my chest
Not something I could lose
Just something I refused
Now I see it clear again
Wasn’t gone, just buried in
It was never really gone
It was here the whole time all along
Through the weight, through the fall
It was never really gone
Not something I had to earn
Just something I could return
Now I see it through it all
It was never really gone
Never really gone
Just beneath it all
Never really gone
Just beneath it all
