Verse 1 I see you shaking underneath the weight, Of every choice you wish you could erase. You’re scared the man you used to be Is waiting somewhere underneath your skin. You remember every heart you broke, Every bridge you burned, every word you spoke, And now you’re terrified that history Will come back and take you away from me. Pre-Chorus But baby, look at me tonight, You’re not that boy, you’re still alive. The past can tell you where you’ve been, But it doesn’t get to choose who you’ll become again. Chorus You are strong, even when you’re breaking, You are worth every chance you’re taking. And I love you with my whole heart, Even when you think you’ve gone too far. You’re not a failure, not a disappointment, You’re not the mistakes that came before this moment. So when the fear says you’ll never change, I’ll remind you: you’re not the same. Verse 2 I know you carry every name, Every memory, every ounce of shame. You wish you could go back in time And give those people a different goodbye. But growing hurts, and healing’s slow, And sometimes you don’t see how far you’ve grown. You don’t have to be perfect to be loved, You just have to keep choosing better than before. Bridge And if you fall, I won’t call you lost, If you stumble, that won’t change your worth. You can face the darkest parts of you Without becoming what you used to do. I see the fight behind your eyes, I see the good you’re trying to find. And if you forget who you are, I’ll remind you how strong you’ve come so far. Final Chorus You are strong, even when you’re breaking, You are worth every chance you’re taking. And I love you with my whole heart, Nothing in your past can tear that apart. You’re not a failure, not a disappointment, You’re not defined by your worst moments. So let those old ghosts fade away, You’re becoming someone new every day. Outro So breathe, my love, you’re safe tonight, You don’t have to run from your old life. You’re more than everything you’ve done— And I’ll love the person you’re becoming, Until you learn to love him too.
