Woke up with the sun through the blinds today

Same scars, new pace, I’m fine today

Still got bills, still got weight on my chest

But I’m standing up straight, not folding yet

I used to think healing meant feeling no pain

Now I know it’s walking through it anyway

I don’t need a miracle, don’t need a sign

Just a little peace and a little time

Coffee on the counter, keys by the door

Life feels loud but I don’t run anymore

I don’t have answers, I stopped pretending

I’m not broken — I’m just still mending

I chased the finish line, ran myself thin

Turns out the win is just staying in

I’m learning to live, not learning to hide

Not every storm needs a reason why

Some days are heavy, some nights I forgive

I’m not healed, I’m human — I’m learning to live

I’m learning to breathe when I feel that doubt

Learning what staying really means now

I don’t need saving, I just need to give

Myself some grace while I’m learning to live

I used to fight fear like it owed me blood

Now I see it’s just part of growing up

It still talks loud when the lights go low

But I don’t let it decide where I go

Faith feels quieter than it used to be

Not a siren song, more like steady feet

I don’t pray scared, I don’t beg or plead

I just talk like someone who still believes

Love feels different, less fire, more warm

Less proving myself, more weathering storms

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need fast

I just need today to outlast the past

I’m done chasing who I was back then

I’m here with who I am — that’s enough to stand

I’m learning to live, not learning to hide

Not every storm needs a reason why

Some days are heavy, some nights I forgive

I’m not healed, I’m human — I’m learning to live

I’m learning to breathe when I feel that doubt

Learning what staying really means now

I don’t need saving, I just need to give

Myself some grace while I’m learning to live

Yeah, I still stumble, yeah, I still shake

Still make mistakes that I wish I’d erase

But I don’t disappear when I feel the weight

I sit with it, let it pass, let it fade

I used to think strength was never falling apart

Now I know it’s putting pieces back in your heart

I’m not at the finish, I’m not at the start

I’m right here learning who I really am

I’m learning to live with my feet on the ground

Learning that peace doesn’t make a sound

Some prayers are whispers, some answers don’t give

But I’ll keep showing up — I’m learning to live

Yeah, I’m learning to live, not chasing the end

I’m alive, I’m awake — I’m learning to live…
