[Verse 1] I know the route behind my eyes The worn-out turn, the compromise A coffee ring beside the sink A hundred ways to overthink I wear the hours that made me The crooked seams, the history No polished answer in my hands Just where I am, and where I stand [Pre-Chorus] I used to measure every breath Against a life I hadn't left Now I can loosen what I hold And let the ordinary unfold [Chorus] I am not a promise waiting Not a version still creating I can meet myself right here With the dents and all the years I don't need to outrun the shape Of every choice I couldn't change This is my life, these are my days I can love them as they are made [Verse 2] The rent is due, the paint is thin The same old doubt still wanders in My plans arrive with missing parts My best intentions lose their starts But there's a plate I learned to mend A call I make, a hand I lend The small things never asked me why They simply stayed until I tried [Pre-Chorus] I used to call the cracks defects And hide the parts I could protect Now every mark can tell the truth A map of what I made it through [Chorus] I am not a promise waiting Not a version still creating I can meet myself right here With the dents and all the years I don't need to outrun the shape Of every choice I couldn't change This is my life, these are my days I can love them as they are made [Bridge] Let the unfinished morning in Let the quiet count as a win I don't have to earn my name By becoming someone else again [Final Chorus] I am not a promise waiting Not a version still creating I can meet myself right here With the dents and all the years I don't need to outrun the shape Of every choice I couldn't change This is my life, these are my days I can love them as they are made [Outro] Right here, with the dents and years Right here, with the life I live
