Verse 1
I catch my face in the bathroom light
Lines I don’t remember earning
My body softer than it used to be
Like it’s been quietly learning
Time moves strange inside my head
Some days rush, some days crawl
I forget why I walked in the room
But I remember how it felt to fall
Pre-Chorus
There’s a mirror I avoid sometimes
And a silence I don’t recognize
Chorus
I’m getting older, nobody warned me how
It would feel like losing ground
Watching pieces of myself drift out of view
Feeling smaller in the room
But there’s a fire I didn’t have before
A steadiness deep in my bones
I’m getting older, and I’m learning how
To finally be my own
Verse 2
My skin remembers every season
Every worry I carried alone
My knees talk back in the morning
Like they know what I’ve outgrown
I’ve felt invisible in crowded places
Like I faded between the years
But I see things clearer now
Especially what isn’t worth my tears
Pre-Chorus
I’ve buried dreams and survived regret
And somehow I’m still standing yet
Chorus
I’m getting older, and it’s breaking me
And building me the same
Letting go of who I thought I was
Learning to love the change
I don’t chase every voice anymore
I don’t need the room to see
I’m getting older, and I’m finally free
From who they wanted me to be
Bridge
Life feels fragile when you really look
Every breath feels borrowed time
But that makes love hit harder now
And truth feel more divine
I don’t know how long I’ve got
But I know what matters most
Final Chorus
I’m getting older, and it’s not all loss
There’s beauty in the ache
I’ve got fewer fucks to give these days
And stronger choices to make
I carry peace I never knew
And grief that taught me how
I’m getting older, and I’m still becoming
More myself somehow
Outro
Yeah, I’m softer now
But I’m stronger too
And I’m still here
Still choosing truth
