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
