[Verse 1] I kept a tally on the kitchen wall Every little win, still I wanted it all You said, “Take a breath, let the day be enough” I was busy measuring the shape of my luck [Pre-Chorus] Then the list came loose in the wash of the rain Ink running down like a map without names I let one small truth settle under my skin I don't have to earn the right to begin [Chorus] I’m learning how to come back to me One honest breath, one thing I can see No finish line, no perfect disguise I meet my own face and stay for a while I’m learning how to make room inside For every old hurt I no longer hide The life I was chasing is here in my hands I’m growing where I am [Verse 2] You found my old notebook under the bed “Things I’ll forgive” in a list I had read I crossed out the names I kept saving for later And wrote my own first, in the space beneath them [Pre-Chorus] A cup by the window, the kettle goes still The morning arrives without asking my will I don't need a sign carved into the sky I can choose the next step, and let that be mine [Chorus] I’m learning how to come back to me One honest breath, one thing I can see No finish line, no perfect disguise I meet my own face and stay for a while I’m learning how to make room inside For every old hurt I no longer hide The life I was chasing is here in my hands I’m growing where I am [Bridge] Some days the old ache still knocks at the door I hear it, I name it, I don't feed it more You sit beside me; we don't need a cure Just time, a warm coat, and a little more room I am not a debt that I have to repay I can be unfinished and loved anyway [Final Chorus] I’m learning how to come back to me One honest breath, one thing I can see No finish line, no perfect disguise I meet my own face and stay for a while I’m learning how to make room inside For every old hurt I no longer hide The life I was chasing is here in my hands I’m growing where I am I’m growing where I am [Outro] Here in my hands I’m growing where I am
