[Verse 1]
“Okay
I can do this”
I hit record and breathe
First note cracks and wobbles
I start laughing through my teeth
Try again
My voice goes sideways
Trip on every line
“Wow
I am so rusty”
Still
I kinda love the try
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart in my mouth
Hand on my chest
I miss a step
Then I confess
[Chorus]
“Oh
Sorry
Ha! That was not my best”
But I’m singing anyway
I’m a beautiful mess
If I fall flat
I’ll just laugh it off
Turn my little stumbles into something I love
“Oh
Sorry
Ha! Guess I missed that cue”
But I’m proud I’m even trying in front of you
Every shaky note
Every nervous breath
Says
“Okay
I can do this” (yeah, I can do this)
[Verse 2]
Neighbors hear me through the ceiling
I blush and change the key
Scroll through twenty takes and
Keep the worst one secretly
Friends say
“You’re adorable”
When my voice decides to crack
I say
“Don’t you dare erase it”
That’s the real me coming back
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart in my throat
Smile on my face
I lose my place
Still
I stay
[Chorus]
“Oh
Sorry
Ha! That was not my best”
But I’m singing anyway
I’m a beautiful mess
If I fall flat
I’ll just laugh it off
Turn my little stumbles into something I love
“Oh
Sorry
Ha! Guess I missed that cue”
But I’m proud I’m even trying in front of you
Every shaky note
Every nervous breath
Says
“Okay
I can do this” (hey!)
[Bridge]
Maybe brave looks kinda dorky
Off-key
Awkward
Way too loud
But I’d rather sound imperfect
Than stay quiet in the crowd
[Chorus]
“Oh
Sorry
Ha! That was not my best”
But I’m singing anyway
I’m a beautiful mess
If I fall flat
I’ll just laugh it off
Turn my little stumbles into something I love
“Oh
Sorry
Ha! Guess I missed that cue”
But I’m proud I’m even trying in front of you
Every shaky note
Every nervous breath
Says
“Okay
I can do this” (I can do this)
