Verse 1
Been carrying the weight on my shoulders,
Smile on my face but I’m getting older.
Everybody asks me if I’m good,
Truth is, I just say what I know I should.
Steel-toe boots by the front door,
Working for a life I ain’t had before.
Trying to build something I can call mine,
Praying that I’m right this time.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been chasing peace,
Not attention.
Trying to heal what’s underneath
Without pretending.
Chorus
I’m halfway home…
Still got a long way left to go.
Still finding pieces of myself
I never got to know.
If you love me, love the man I’m becoming,
Not the one that’s still outrunning.
Every scar reminds me I survived…
I’m halfway home.
⸻
Verse 2
I pushed people away before they could leave,
Thought protecting my heart meant protecting me.
Looking back, I know I played my part,
Fear can make a prison out your heart.
Some nights I still wonder if enough exists,
If I’m somebody they’d actually miss.
Then I remember all the dreams I’ve kept,
Even when I cried, I never quit.
Pre-Chorus
I’m learning every answer
Don’t come overnight.
Some things only make sense
Looking back in hindsight.
Chorus
I’m halfway home…
Still got a long way left to go.
Building every piece of me
From everything I broke.
If you see me, see the man that’s trying,
Not the nights I spent surviving.
Every scar reminds me I’m alive…
I’m halfway home.
⸻
Bridge
One day I’ll have my own place.
One day I’ll hear my own voice in a game.
One day my mom won’t have to worry.
One day they’ll know I never quit.
But tonight…
I’m just trying to believe…
That tomorrow’s worth seeing.
⸻
Final Chorus
I’m halfway home…
Maybe that’s enough for now.
Maybe healing ain’t a finish line,
Maybe it’s just learning how.
To keep on loving life,
Even when it hurts sometimes.
Brick by brick, dream by dream,
I’ll become the man I see.
I’m halfway home…
And I’m still on my way.
