[Verse 1]
Some days I swear I’m getting better
Some days I fall back into old ways
I can see the man I wanna be
But I don’t always know the way
There’s a life happening around me
While I’m trying to heal inside
And I’m finding out the hardest part
Is doing both at the same time
[Pre-Chorus]
Good intentions
Don’t make everything okay
But every time I get it wrong
I’m trying not to look away
[Chorus]
I’m learning as I go
How to love, how to listen, how to let things go
How to give you all of me
Without losing myself somewhere down the road
I know things fall through the cracks
And sometimes I don’t get it right
But missing something doesn’t mean
You ever left my mind
I’m still healing, still becoming
Still undoing what I’ve known
Trying to give you something better
Than the way that I was shown
I don’t have all the answers
But there’s one thing that I know
I’m gonna keep on trying
While I’m learning as I go
[Verse 2]
My past was one hell of a teacher
But it didn’t teach me how to stay
It taught me how to keep on moving
How to survive another day
It taught me love was something proven
By how much you sacrifice
So I learned to give by doing
Instead of looking in your eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m learning being present
Might mean more than providing
And the people who really love you
Don’t need you earning it all the time
[Chorus]
I’m learning as I go
How to love, how to listen, how to let things go
How to give you all of me
Without losing myself somewhere down the road
I know things fall through the cracks
And sometimes I don’t get it right
But missing something doesn’t mean
You ever left my mind
I’m still healing, still becoming
Still undoing what I’ve known
Trying to give you something better
Than the way that I was shown
I don’t have all the answers
But I’m gonna keep on trying
While I’m learning as I go
[Bridge]
I used to think that being strong
Meant carrying it all alone
That saying “I can handle it”
Was how you let your love be known
But maybe strength is saying sorry
And staying there to make it right
Maybe love is turning off the noise
And just being there tonight
[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I’m learning as I go
How to stay when everything in me says go
How to give the ones I love
More than the only kind of love I’ve known
And some things fall through the cracks
Yeah, sometimes I’m gonna get it wrong
But I’m learning love ain’t measured
By pretending that you’re strong
I’m still healing, still becoming
Still undoing what I’ve known
Trying to give you something better
Than the way that I was shown
I can’t promise perfect
But I promise I will grow
The past can be my teacher
Without choosing where I go
I’m not finished
I’m not perfect
I’m just learning as I go
[Outro]
Still healing
Still trying
Still finding my way home
One day at a time
I’m learning as I go.
