What if I do

Verse 1

I don’t have it all figured out, that’s true,

Still doubting some days, still thinking it through,

Got ideas in my head that won’t sit still,

Asking “what if I don’t?” louder than “what if I will.”

It scares me a little how real this feels,

Like once I begin there’s no turning the wheel,

But staying the same scares me more than the try,

So I breathe it in deep and say, “why not I?”

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I’m not saying I’m ready, I’m saying I’m close,

Heart beating fast every time I get hope,

If I don’t take the step, I’ll never know,

So maybe fear’s just part of the go.

⸻

Chorus

I’m building something they’ll never touch,

New doors open when I trust myself enough,

I don’t need it perfect, I just need a start,

I’m betting on me with a nervous heart.

⸻

Verse 2

I picture the future, then laugh, then freeze,

Like who do I think I am, dreaming this big?

But the thought won’t leave me, it keeps coming back,

Like maybe this path is the one I should track.

I’m tired of waiting for the “right” time,

Tired of living on the edge of mine,

If it falls apart, I’ll still be okay,

At least I’ll know I didn’t walk away.

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2

I don’t need applause, I don’t need a sign,

Just one deep breath and a line in the sand,

I’ve talked myself out of things before,

This time I’m knocking on my own door.

⸻

Chorus

I’m building something they’ll never touch,

New doors open when I trust myself enough,

I don’t need it perfect, I just need a start,

I’m betting on me with a nervous heart.

⸻

Bridge

What if I fail?

What if I fly?

What if this is the moment I stop asking why?

I don’t need answers, I don’t need proof,

Just a little faith in the things I can do.

⸻

Post-Bridge Verse

I don’t need to know where it all will lead,

Just know I’m done doubting every belief,

I’ve talked myself small more times than I should,

Now I’m learning to trust what feels this good.

I’m not racing, I’m moving my pace,

Putting my name on something I made,

Even if it’s slow, even if it’s new,

It’s still mine — and that matters too.

⸻

Final Chorus

I’m building something they’ll never touch,

New doors open when I trust myself enough,

Even if I’m scared, even if I stall,

I’d rather try than not at all.*

⸻

Extended Chorus / Outro

I’m building something they’ll never touch,

Every step forward is proof enough,

I don’t need perfect, I just need true,*

If this is the moment… what if I do
