Verse 1
I used to measure sunsets by the things I couldn’t hold
Count constellations backwards, chasing stories I was told
I wore tomorrow like a debt I had to pay
Chasing “one day” like it owed me yesterday
Pre-Chorus
Now I let the silence say my name
No scoreboard in the quiet, no one left to blame
Chorus
I’m living like I already made it
Breathing like the air’s not borrowed, it’s mine
Dancing on the line I once created
Turns out the finish line was a state of mind
I don’t need the world to crown me gold
Don’t need forever wrapped in control
I wanted everything—now I know
Even if I don’t… I’m whole
⸻
Verse 2
I folded expectations into paper airplanes
Watched them drift away without a trace of shame
Every “what if” lost its gravity
When I stopped orbiting who I thought I’d be
Pre-Chorus
Let the mirror meet me where I stand
Not who I could’ve been—just who I am
Chorus
I’m living like I already made it
Breathing like the air’s not borrowed, it’s mine
Dancing on the line I once created
Turns out the finish line was a state of mind
I don’t need the world to crown me gold
Don’t need forever wrapped in control
I wanted everything—now I know
Even if I don’t… I’m whole
⸻
Bridge (soft → building)
I spent years trying to outrun a version of me
That only existed in someone else’s dream
Now I’m wide awake in a life that fits
Not chasing the crown—just calling it quits
On the war I waged with my reflection
Traded perfection for connection
If this is all I ever get—
Then this is more than I could’ve dreamt…
(cut to silence → instrumental breakdown hits)
⸻
Final Chorus (full, powerful, layered)
I’m living like I already made it
Breathing like the air’s not borrowed, it’s mine
Dancing on the line I once created
Turns out the finish line was a state of mind
I don’t need the world to crown me gold
Don’t need forever just to feel at home
I wanted everything—now I know
Even if I don’t… I’m whole
⸻
Outro (soft, stripped)
Even if I don’t… I’ve grown
Even if I don’t… I’m home
Even if I don’t… it’s enough
