Growin after you

Verse 1
I was young and full of pride, thought I knew it all
Chasin’ neon nights instead of hearin’ your call
You were buildin’ us a home, I was runnin’ wild
Didn’t see the cracks in love, just the miles

Pre-Chorus
I mistook your patience for somethin’ that wouldn’t fade
Turns out forever takes more than words you say

Chorus
So I’m growin’ up, growin’ strong, learnin’ what I put you through
Layin’ down my stubborn ways, learnin’ how to choose
I ain’t sayin’ I was perfect, Lord knows I was wrong
But I’m growin’ to get back the woman of my dreams
One honest change at a time, one right step long

Verse 2
I’ve been fixin’ what I broke, even when it hurts
Lookin’ in the mirror doin’ the real hard work
Every promise now’s a seed I gotta see through
‘Cause love don’t bloom unless it’s true

Pre-Chorus
I don’t expect forgiveness just ‘cause I see the light
I’ll earn it slow, with every day and night

Chorus
So I’m growin’ up, growin’ strong, learnin’ what I put you through
Layin’ down my pride and fear, learnin’ how to choose
I ain’t sayin’ I was perfect, Lord knows I was wrong
But I’m growin’ to get back the woman of my dreams
With actions louder than a song

Bridge
If you’re watchin’ from a distance, wonderin’ if I’ve changed
I hope the man I’m becomin’ eases some of that pain
I don’t need you to save me, just a chance to prove
That the best part of me’s still you

Chorus (Soft → Big)
Yeah, I’m growin’ up, growin’ true, into the man you believed
The one you saw before I lost what love could be
If you ever find it in your heart to come back home
I’ll be ready, steady, stronger than I’ve ever known

Outro
Even if the road don’t lead back into your arms
I’ll keep growin’ anyway, that’s who you taught me to be
But I’m hopin’ someday you’ll see
I grew into the man
Who deserves the woman of my dreams
