Give it Time

[Style:

Indie pop / alternative hip-hop

Clean piano, soft bass, steady heartbeat drums

Feels like breathing through anxiety instead of fighting it]

[Theme:

Healing isn’t instant

Growth happens quietly

You don’t need to rush becoming who you’re meant to be]

Mm

Yeah

I’m learning

I used to think if it didn’t change fast

Then it wasn’t real progress

Counted days like deadlines

Punished myself for the process

Every setback felt like proof

That I was wasting my youth

But maybe roots don’t grow loud

Maybe they grow deep and slow in truth

I’ve been measuring my worth

With a stopwatch and regret

Asking God for overnight

While ignoring what I’ve already kept

I’m not stuck, I’m in between

Where the old me starts to leave

And the next one hasn’t learned

How to fully breathe

I don’t need all the answers now

I just need to stay around

Give it time

Not everything heals on cue

I’m not late, I’m just in line

Becoming something new

Give it time

I don’t have to win today

If I’m still walking forward

Then I’m okay

Scrolling through the lives I’m “behind”

Comparing my chapter one

To someone else’s highlight reel

Like we started from the same run

But my path’s been different roads

Different weights I’ve had to hold

I survived days I don’t post

That should count more than gold

Learning how to talk to myself

Without shame in my tone

Not every quiet night means

That I’m ending up alone

Some things bloom when no one’s watching

Some prayers take their time

Maybe faith ain’t seeing the end

Just trusting the climb

I don’t need to rush the crown

I’m still standing my ground

Give it time

I don’t need to have it all

I’m allowed to grow in phases

I’m allowed to stall

Give it time

I don’t have to prove my pace

If I’m moving with intention

I’m in my place

Maybe the delay is mercy

Maybe slow is safe

Maybe who I’m becoming

Would’ve broke if I rushed the shape

I don’t wanna skip the lesson

Just to flex the result

I’m learning how to be patient

With the life I’ve been dealt

Give it time

I’m not broken, I’m aware

I’m learning how to breathe again

Right where I am

Give it time

If I’m honest, I’m alive

And that’s enough for tonight

Yeah, that’s enough

Still here

Still growing

Still worth it
