[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
I’m not the kid I used to be
But I’m not who I wanna be
I’m stuck somewhere in between
Like a ghost in my own dreams

I wake up, I go to work
I laugh sometimes, but it still hurts
Feels like life keeps moving fast
While I’m standing in the past

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t fall, I didn’t fly
I just stopped trying to decide

[Chorus]
I’m halfway gone, halfway here
Half my heart, half my fear
Half of me is holding on
The other half is moving on

I’m halfway gone, halfway strong
I don’t know where I belong
I’m not lost, but not okay
I’m just drifting day to day

[Verse 2]
I see my friends build their lives
Dreams, families, bigger plans
And I’m just trying to survive
With what I got in my hands

I don’t envy, I don’t hate
I just wish I felt the same
Like I wasn’t so delayed
Like I wasn’t so afraid

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t fall, I didn’t fly
I just stopped trying to decide

[Chorus]
I’m halfway gone, halfway here
Half my heart, half my fear
Half of me is holding on
The other half is moving on

I’m halfway gone, halfway strong
I don’t know where I belong
I’m not lost, but not okay
I’m just drifting day to day

[Bridge]
Maybe this is part of change
Maybe this is just the pain
Before I learn to let it go
Before I find a way back home

[Final Chorus / Outro]
I’m halfway gone, but I still breathe
Still got something inside of me
Maybe I’m not who I was
But maybe that’s who I’m meant to become
