[Verse 1]
Tiny letters in the margins of my mind
Secrets that I never learned to leave behind
Daddy's guitar gathering dust in the hall
Mama's island stories echoing through it all
Hidden in the pages where nobody looks
All these little stories that nobody took
[Pre-Chorus]
In between the lines where truth resides
All the things we whisper late at night
Paper cuts and ink stains tell no lies
But the footnotes, baby, make me cry
[Chorus]
Small print confessions
Hidden obsessions
Every asterisk holds a different lesson
In the footnotes of my life
Silent reflections
Subtle directions
Every page turn brings a new connection
In the footnotes of my life
[Verse 2]
Mama sang her stories soft and low
Caribbean dreams from so long ago
While I wrote my feelings microscopic small
Like they wouldn't hurt me if they stayed that small
But these little words grew roots inside
Now they're blooming stories I can't hide
[Bridge]
Sometimes the smallest words speak the loudest truth
Sometimes a whisper screams from the pages of my youth
Every margin holds a memory
Every space between tells a story
Of who I am, who I used to be
[Chorus]
Small print confessions
Hidden obsessions
Every asterisk holds a different lesson
In the footnotes of my life
Silent reflections
Subtle directions
Every page turn brings a new connection
In the footnotes of my life
[Outro]
These footnotes are burning through the page
Little letters spelling out my rage
Sweet confessions in the smallest font
Tell the stories that the headlines won't
Tell the stories that the headlines won't
