The Year I Learned My Own Name lyrics
I'd been answering to versions of myselfThat other people namedHelpful, agreeable, dependableWhatever the moment claimedBut somewhere in the third yearOf just doing what was neededI stopped and tried to rememberWhat I'd wanted before I'd been depletedThis was the year I learned my own nameNot the one they gave me, the one that was always thereThis was the year I learned my own nameThe one that doesn't shift depending on who's in the airI stopped performing the easy versionStarted practicing the honest oneThis was the year I learned my own nameAnd recognized who I was becoming someoneIt's not a dramatic turning pointIt's a sequence of small correctionsA no here, a boundary thereA choice made in a new directionAnd then one morning I recognized myselfIn the mirror, which sounds smallBut if you've ever lost thatYou know it's everything at allThis was the year I learned my own nameNot the one they gave me, the one that was always thereThis was the year I learned my own nameThe one that doesn't shift depending on who's in the airI stopped performing the easy versionStarted practicing the honest oneThis was the year I learned my own nameAnd recognized who I was becoming someoneMy name is not what I do for othersMy name is not how useful I can beMy name is what's left when the obligations quietAnd I'm alone and I'm finally freeI know my name nowI say it like I mean itI know my name nowAnd it fits
