Two Feet

I used to lean on anything

That felt like it could stay.

Built my peace in other hands,

Watched it slip away.

I called it love, I called it fate,

I called it what I needed.

But every time I gave myself,

I felt a little weaker.

I was searching for a place

That I could finally land,

Never realized I was

Standing where I stand.

Now I got my own two feet to stand on,

Don’t need nobody else to hold me up.

I found a way to be my own safe place,

When everything around me wasn’t enough.

And I don’t fall the way I used to,

I don’t break the way I did.

I trust the ground beneath me now—

I finally know what strength is.

I used to chase a feeling

Like it lived in someone else.

Like happiness was something

I could never build myself.

But I’ve been sitting in the silence,

Learning how to breathe.

And there’s a kind of peace

That only comes from me.

No more reaching for a hand

That disappears in time,

I became the steady place

I was trying to find.

Now I got my own two feet to stand on,

Don’t need nobody else to hold me up.

I found a way to be my own safe place,

When everything around me wasn’t enough.

And I don’t fall the way I used to,

I don’t break the way I did.

I trust the ground beneath me now—

I finally know what strength is.

It was never about being alone,

It was learning I’d be okay.

Even if everything I loved

Somehow walked away.

And I still feel, and I still hurt,

But I don’t disappear—

I finally found something

That was always here.

Now I got my own two feet to stand on,

And they don’t shake the way they used to.

I don’t need saving, I just needed

To believe I could move through.

And if love comes, I won’t lose me,

I won’t bend just to fit.

I trust the ground beneath me now—

I finally know what strength is.
