[Verse 1]
Used to wake up heavy
Heart on my chest like stone
Scrollin’ through everybody’s highlight reel
Feelin’ stuck in my own zone
Talkin’ big plans in the group chat
Then I’d cancel on myself
Said I’d change up in the morning
Left that promise on the shelf
Mirror askin’ questions
I was duckin’ every one
Why you run from your reflection
But chase everybody else’s love
Then I hit that quiet moment
Phone face down on the bed
Only voice up in the room
Was the one inside my head
[Chorus]
I want the best for me
Not the fake, not the fantasy
Just a life I can finally breathe in
Stand tall in my own skin
I’m fightin’ through the hard days
Turnin’ all of these scars to grace
I ain’t who I was last week
I want the best for me (for me)
[Verse 2]
Started walkin’ ‘stead of talkin’
Small wins, I count those too
Got up, made my own breakfast
That’s a step I once slept through
Sorted out my old habits
Like clothes on a bedroom floor
If it don’t fit who I’m becomin’
I don’t wear that anymore
People said I changed up
Yeah, that’s right, I’m proud of it
If your comfort needs me broken
Then I gotta rise out of it
Some nights I still crumble
Eyes burn, but I let ‘em rain
Cryin’ don’t mean that I’m weak
It just rinses off the shame (yeah)
[Chorus]
I want the best for me
Not the script that they handed me
I’m writin’ every line I’m readin’
Every breath is a new scene
I’m pushin’ through the hard days
Turnin’ all of these scars to grace
I ain’t who I was last week
I want the best for me (for me)
[Bridge]
If I fall, I fall forward (forward)
Hands out, I reach toward it
That version of me I dream at night
Feels closer every morning
I ain’t chasin’ perfect, nah
Just a little more peace each day
If it costs me old versions of me
That’s a price that I’ll gladly pay (hey)
[Chorus]
I want the best for me
All the way to the ending scene
From the pain that I’m growin’ out of
To the love that I owe to me
I’m walkin’ through the hard days
Turnin’ all of these scars to grace
Every step, even when I’m weak
I’m gettin’ closer to the best for me (oh yeah)
