Lyrics
[Intro]
Mornin’ starts before the kettle sings
Tiny socks and a thousand little things
I tie my hair, check the clock, breathe deep
Promise my girl the kind of life I keep
[Verse 1]
Rent due Friday, milk on the last drop
Phone at one percent, bus at the next stop
She’s got a cough, I got a shift at ten
Tell my boss I’m coming, hope they let me in
Lunch in a container from the night before
Her picture taped beside the kitchen door
I used to think a dream had to look grand
Now it’s her small fingers wrapped around my hand
Some days I’m brave, some days I’m barely dressed
Mascara on the sleeve, worry in my chest
Everybody’s got advice like they know my name
But they don’t feel the weight when the lights go strange
I’m learning not to vanish just to keep the peace
Learning being tired doesn’t mean I’m weak
If I bend, I bend toward the morning sun
So she can see her mother never came undone
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t have every answer, I don’t fake that I do
But I keep showing up, that’s what I can prove
When the whole world gets loud and the doubt starts to rise
I find my way back in the brown of her eyes
[Chorus]
Baby girl, watch me build with what I’ve got
Turn a hard day into one more shot
I may shake, but I won’t let go
You’re the reason I keep learning how to grow
Baby girl, if you see me lose my way
Know I’m still choosing better every day
I’m your shelter, but I’m still becoming me
Two hearts, one home, learning how to be free
[Verse 2]
I miss old me sometimes, the girl who stayed out late
Who bought a new dress just because she could wait
Now I count every dollar, every hour, every meal
Still I paint my nails when I need to feel real
Not just somebody’s mother, not a number, not a role
There’s a whole wide woman living in my soul
I sing off-key while I braid her hair
Teach her love is not a reason to disappear
Her father’s promises came folded, then they tore
I stopped knocking on a half-open door
No bitterness for her, I keep my voice clean
Tell her family can be chosen, not just seen
We dance in the hallway when the laundry’s piled high
She laughs so hard that I forget to ask why
Tomorrow can wait five minutes on the floor
I’m giving her a childhood worth remembering for
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t have every answer, I don’t fake that I do
But I keep showing up, that’s what I can prove
When the whole world gets loud and the doubt starts to rise
I find my way back in the brown of her eyes
[Chorus]
Baby girl, watch me build with what I’ve got
Turn a hard day into one more shot
I may shake, but I won’t let go
You’re the reason I keep learning how to grow
Baby girl, if you see me lose my way
Know I’m still choosing better every day
I’m your shelter, but I’m still becoming me
Two hearts, one home, learning how to be free
[Bridge]
One day you’ll ask me how I made it through
I’ll say I had your hand, and I had truth
I cried, I healed, I started over slow
I kept my name beneath the mother I had grown
You don’t owe the world a smaller version of your light
You can be soft and still stand up and fight
If I teach you one thing, let it be this part:
You can love somebody deeply and still guard your heart
[Final Chorus]
Baby girl, watch me build with what I’ve got
Turn a hard day into one more shot
I may shake, but I won’t let go
You’re the reason I keep learning how to grow
Baby girl, when you’re older, you will see
Every scar became a map back to me
I’m your shelter, and I’m still becoming me
Two hearts, one home, learning how to be free
[Outro]
Mornin’ starts before the kettle sings
Tiny socks and a thousand little things
I kiss her cheek, let the new day start
Little girl, you’re the rhythm in my heart
