Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1]
Too young, too fast, didn’t think, just ran
Didn’t care where I’d land, just wanted to feel something again
Every door I kicked down, every line I crossed
Didn’t count the wins, only ever felt the loss

Stayed out late, yeah I chased that high
Said “I’m good” but I never knew why
Every wrong turn felt like my lane
Got so used to dancing with pain

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
They said slow down, I said “watch me go”
Didn’t see the edge, didn’t wanna know
Now I’m here with the weight of it all
But I didn’t break, nah I didn’t fall

⸻

[Chorus]
I tried everything just to feel alive
Made some choices I can’t rewind
Yeah I messed up more than I planned
But I’m still right here, still I stand

Too young to know better, old enough to learn
Every scar I got, yeah I let it burn
If I’m lost, I’ll find my way through
’Cause I’m more than the shit I went through

⸻

[Verse 2]
Friends came quick then they faded out
Left me alone with my thoughts and doubt
Gave my trust like it meant nothing
Now I hold it close like it’s everything

Changed my look, changed my vibe
Tried to build someone I could hide inside
But the truth don’t fade, it stays the same
Had to face my own damn name

⸻

[Pre-Chorus]
I was loud just to hide the fear
Ran from things that brought me here
Now I’m learning to sit in it
Not run when it gets too real

⸻

[Chorus]
I tried everything just to feel alive
Made some choices I can’t rewind
Yeah I messed up more than I planned
But I’m still right here, still I stand

Too young to know better, old enough to learn
Every scar I got, yeah I let it burn
If I’m lost, I’ll find my way through
’Cause I’m more than the shit I went through

⸻

[Bridge]
Maybe I went too far sometimes
Maybe I blurred too many lines
But I lived, yeah I felt it all
And I’m still here after the fall

⸻

[Outro]
Too young, too wild, yeah that was me
But that’s not all I’m gonna be
I ain’t done, I ain’t through
I’m still becoming something new
