Verse 1
I been walking with a weight on my chest,
Smiling through it, but I ain’t been my best.
Loved someone I didn’t know how to keep,
Lost a lot of sleep trying not to feel weak.
Pre-Chorus
I made some wrong turns I can’t erase,
But I’m learning how to live with the pain.
Chorus
It’s been a long way through, but I’m still me,
Still got a heart, still believe.
I bent, I broke, I fell apart,
But I didn’t lose the best of my heart.
I ain’t perfect, that much is true,
But I’m healing slow… yeah, I’m making it through.
Verse 2
I chased a feeling just to feel okay,
Late nights, bad habits, bills to pay.
Every scar got a story behind,
Every loss taught me something in time.
Pre-Chorus 2
I ain’t asking for a second chance,
Just a little peace and a place to stand.
Chorus
It’s been a long way through, but I’m still me,
Still got a heart, still believe.
I bent, I broke, I fell apart,
But I didn’t lose the best of my heart.
I ain’t perfect, that much is true,
But I’m healing slow… yeah, I’m making it through.
Bridge (R&B touch – softer)
If you hear my name in a late-night song,
Just know I tried, I was holding on.
Final Chorus (slightly bigger)
It’s been a long way through, but I’m still here,
Still learning how to face my fears.
I lost my way, but I found my truth,
And I’m healing slow… yeah, I’m making it through.
Outro
Long way through…
Still standing
