[Verse 1] I kept a list in the kitchen drawer Of every promise I broke before The bent brass key, the unpaid bill The taste of leaving when I should sit still [Pre-Chorus] I know the roads my hunger takes The quick excuse, the easy escape But I can name them, one by one And turn my face toward what I want [Chorus] I’m choosing the life I came here to live With both hands open, with more to give The past can ride, but it won’t steer I’m still becoming, I’m still here [Verse 2] There’s a cracked blue mug beside the sink A friend who waits while I stop and think Some days I slip, some nights I stray Still, morning asks what I’ll do today [Pre-Chorus] I know the pull, I know the price I’ve paid in hours, I’ve paid in trust But every honest step I take Makes room for more than old mistakes [Chorus] I’m choosing the life I came here to live With both hands open, with more to give The past can ride, but it won’t steer I’m still becoming, I’m still here [Bridge] No clean beginning, no perfect sign Just one true answer at a time I’ll meet the mess I made with care And build a steadier road from there [Final Chorus] I’m choosing the life I came here to live With both hands open, with more to give The past can ride, but it won’t steer I’m still becoming, I’m still here I’m still becoming, I’m still here [Outro] One honest step, then one more day I choose the road I make today
