Somewhere Between 🌓

I know the man I used to be I see the man I'm trying to become But somewhere between the two There's me I still hear the voice of who I used to be Telling me the safer road is where I'm supposed to be He knows every weakness, every place I used to hide Knows exactly what to say when I'm afraid to step outside But there's another voice And it's getting hard to miss Talking 'bout the life I want And everything I've risked I can't go back But I ain't arrived So I wake up every morning Somewhere in between the lines I'm the man, man in the middle One foot out, one foot in Not who I was, not who I'll be But I'm finally becoming me Caught between the fear and the fight With the past behind and the future in sight I don't know where this road will lead But somewhere in between is me Some days I miss the man I worked so hard to leave Not because he had it better Just because he knew what to believe Now every step feels heavier When you know it carries weight You can't become somebody new Without letting something fade Maybe that's the hardest part Nobody tells you when you grow You gotta mourn the man you were Before you learn to let him go Maybe I don't need to know Who I'm gonna be Maybe becoming takes some time Maybe that's enough for me I'm not who I was I'm not who I'll be I'm still somewhere in the middle But I'm finally becoming me I'm the man, man in the middle One foot out, one foot in Not who I was, not who I'll be But I'm finally becoming me I don't need to know the ending I just need the strength to move If I have to lose who I was To become who I'm meant to be Not who I was Not who I'll be Somewhere in between I'm becoming me
