(Verse 1)
Sunlight creepin’ through a half-made bed
Bills on the counter, dreams in my head
Tryna find a rhythm, tryna find my way
Between who I am and who I wanna be someday
Got love in my hands, his name on my heart
Maverick from the start, yeah we’ve come this far
But I see a life that’s bigger than this
Where we don’t just survive—we actually live
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m done just gettin’ by, I’m ready to grow
A little more faith in the things I don’t know
(Chorus)
I want better for me, better for us
A stronger kind of love, a deeper kind of trust
A job that feels right, a place that feels like home
Not just somewhere we’re passin’ through alone
I want laughter with friends, peace in my mind
Workin’ hard but still makin’ time
To breathe, to live, to just be free
Buildin’ a life that’s meant for me
(Verse 2)
Some days I’m strong, some days I’m not
Still learnin’ how to handle what I’ve got
Balancin’ work and responsibilities
While tryin’ to hold onto the best parts of me
Family closer, hearts more aligned
Less confusion, more understandin’ over time
I know they got me if I start to fall
I don’t gotta carry this weight all alone at all
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m learnin’ slowly it’s okay to lean
On the ones who’ve always believed in me
(Chorus)
I want better for me, better for us
A future we don’t have to rush
A steady kind of peace, a fire that won’t fade
A life we’re proud of every step we made
I want slow days, doin’ nothin’ at all
And wild nights when we answer the call
To live, to love, to finally see
Everything this life could be
(Bridge)
I don’t need perfect, I just need real
A life that matches the way I feel
Growth in the cracks, light in the gray
Knowin’ we’re gettin’ better every day
(Break)
And I see it now… clearer than before
What I’m fightin’, what I’m workin’ for
(Final Chorus)
I want better for me, better for us
More than just luck, more than just “enough”
A home full of love, not stress and doubt
A life where we finally figure it out
With you by my side, I know it’s true
There’s nothin’ in this world we can’t do
Step by step, we’ll find our way
Into a brighter, better day
(Outro)
Yeah, better for us…
That’s what I’m chasin’
And I’m not givin’ up ❤️
