Verse 1
Some days I still ride down roads we used to know,
Windows down, wondering where all that love could go.
Thought we’d build a future, thought we’d make it out,
Funny how forever can turn into doubt.
You taught me what heartbreak really feels like,
How to smile all day and still cry every night.
But every scar became another reason why
I promised I would never stop reaching for the sky.
Pre-Chorus
Now I’m carrying books with a dream on my back,
Running every race, trying to stay on track.
Building something bigger than the girl I used to be,
Learning that my future starts with believing in me.
Chorus
If you’re gonna love me, love the girl with the big dreams,
The late-night plans and the tired eyes chasing everything.
Love the business I’m building, the uniform I might wear,
The girl from Georgia praying somebody truly cares.
Walk beside me when the road gets steep,
Don’t ask me to choose between my dreams and me.
If we’re forever, let forever grow,
Not hold me back from where I’m meant to go.
Verse 2
Now there’s somebody different standing by my side,
Never asks me to shrink or hide my light.
He knows I’m talking college, Marines, and bigger plans,
Still reaches for my heart instead of just my hands.
He cheers the little wins nobody else can see,
The first client, the long nights, the creativity.
When I say I’m scared, he tells me, “Keep your faith,”
Reminds me every dream just takes a little wait.
Bridge
One day I see a house with my name on the mailbox,
Land all around it, no more watching the clock.
Family in the backyard, music in the air,
Everything I prayed for finally waiting there.
Maybe it’ll take years, maybe it’ll take tears,
But I won’t let fear decide my life from here.
Final Chorus
So if you love me, love all of me,
The girl who’s still becoming who she’s meant to be.
The runner, the student, the dreamer, the friend,
The business owner praying this is only the beginning.
I’m not chasing perfect, I’m chasing peace,
Building a future where my heart can finally breathe.
And whoever walks beside me through it all,
Won’t just catch me if I fall—
They’ll celebrate every time I stand tall.
