Verse 1
I been hard on myself too long
Tryna be strong when I’m already strong
Carryin’ weight I don’t gotta hold
Judgin’ my pace like I’m runnin’ late
I talk to myself like I’m not enough
Like I ain’t survived some heavy stuff
I forget sometimes how far I came
Still standin’ tall through all that pain
⸻
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need to earn my rest
I don’t need to pass no test
⸻
Chorus
I’m learnin’ to be easy on me
Give myself grace when I can’t sleep
I don’t gotta have it all figured out
I’m still growin’, I’m allowed
Easy on me, I’m doin’ my best
Healin’ don’t move on a time-line test
If I fall, I’ll still believe
I’m learnin’ to be easy on me
⸻
Verse 2
I don’t need to rush my healing
Some days numb, some days feelin’
I’m allowed to take my time
I’m allowed to redraw lines
I don’t owe perfection here
I just owe myself sincerity
If I’m honest, that’s enough
I don’t gotta be made of stone
⸻
Bridge
I’d never talk to you like I do me
So I’m changin’ that energy
⸻
Final Chorus (Gentle Lift)
I’m learnin’ to be easy on me
Let myself breathe, let myself be
If love starts here, that’s the key
I’m learnin’ to be easy on me
