Verse 1
This is what my life sounds like this year
Quiet nights, loud thoughts, shifting fears
Who would’ve thought in a matter of time
I’d barely recognize the heart that’s mine
A few months passed like a rushing tide
I changed my dreams, I changed my mind
I’m not the same, and I won’t pretend
Some chapters closed, some won’t amend
Pre-Chorus
I lost some pieces along the way
But I found new reasons to stay
Chorus
I’m not who I was, but I’m learning to be
Someone stronger than yesterday’s me
My plans rewrote, my heart did too
Still standing here, bruised but true
Not everything healed, not everything’s right
But I grew through the dark to survive the night
Verse 2
The past still echoes when it’s late
Old regrets knock at my gate
Some days hope feels paper-thin
But I wake up and try again
I won’t deny the weight I carry
Some scars still burn, some dreams feel heavy
Yet every morning I choose my name
I choose to rise, I choose to stay
Pre-Chorus
Even when my strength feels gone
I hear a voice saying “hold on”
Chorus
I’m not who I was, but I’m learning to be
Someone braver than doubt in me
My heart was bent, but it didn’t break
I’m still here for my own sake
Not everything’s better, I still have scars
But the past made me who I are
Bridge
If growth is pain and pain is truth
Then I earned every ounce of proof
That I survived what tried to end me
Now I give the best of me
Final Chorus
I’ll give the best of me today
Even if tomorrow feels far away
I’m changing slow, but I’m changing real
Learning how to trust what I feel
This is what my life sounds like now
Still becoming, still learning how
Outro
I’m not the same—and that’s okay
I chose myself, I stayed.
