Lyrics

[Verse 1] I came in quiet with my name half-tied You said, "Say it twice so it lands right" I watched my hurt get lined up neat Like a tag on a box by the end of the week And I don't know if I'm mending at all Or just learning my shape for the waiting room wall [Pre-Chorus] Words first then the feeling I wear them like a ceiling You call it growth I call it showing My face gets known before I'm glowing [Chorus] Am I getting whole? Or getting seen? Am I getting whole? Or getting clean? Say it loud say my name Half a cure half a frame Am I getting whole? Or getting seen? (whole or seen) (whole or seen) [Verse 2] You move so smooth with the hand on heart Like truth needs a pose before it can start I learned the lines I learned the breath I learned how to smile at the edge of the wreck Now I can tell what they like to hear A little more light a little less fear But under the gloss my pulse stays thin Like a door with a lock that forgot who’s in [Pre-Chorus] Words first then the feeling I wear them like a ceiling You call it growth I call it showing My face gets known before I'm glowing [Chorus] Am I getting whole? Or getting seen? Am I getting whole? Or getting clean? Say it loud say my name Half a cure half a frame Am I getting whole? Or getting seen? (whole or seen) (whole or seen) [Bridge] I want the part that nobody posts The ugly little truth under all that hope If I disappear when the crowd leans in Tell me which one was me to begin [Final Chorus] Am I getting whole? Or getting seen? Am I getting whole? Or getting clean? Say it loud say my name Half a cure half a frame Am I getting whole? Or getting seen? (whole or seen) (whole or seen) Am I getting whole? Or getting seen? (am I getting whole?) (am I getting seen?)
