My voice gets smaller

[Verse 1]
Used to speak so loud
Believed the world would hear
Every word I said
Mattered more than fear
La la la
Now I'm standing quiet
In the space between
What I thought I'd be
And what I've never seen

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, time keeps moving
Oh, I keep losing

[Chorus]
My voice gets smaller
Every passing year
The boy who shouted
Isn't standing here
La da da da
Maybe that's okay
Maybe that's the way
We learn to disappear

[Verse 2]
[Solo instrumental break]
Sometimes I remember
The fire in my chest
[Whispered vocal layer]
All those burning questions
That I never addressed
Oh oh oh
But silence has its power
In the things we never say
In the space between heartbeats
Where the real truth wants to stay

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, time keeps moving
Oh, we keep losing

[Chorus]
My voice gets smaller
Every passing year
The boy who shouted
Isn't standing here
La da da da
Maybe that's okay
Maybe that's the way
We learn to disappear

[Bridge]
If I could tell him
Just one thing
That all his noise
Don't mean everything
La la la la

[Final Chorus]
Your voice gets smaller
But the heart stays clear
The boy who's shouting
Will become what's here
La da da da
And that's okay
That's the only way
We learn to reappear

[Outro]
[Echo fading]
La la la
Da da da
[Whispered]
Still here
