[Verse 1] I bent my edges just to fit Let every voice decide my script I wore their colors on my skin Till I forgot the shade I’m in I lost my fire, lost my name Trying to play another’s game And every step I chose to take Felt like a road I didn’t make [Pre-Chorus 1] I drifted far from who I am But now I feel my heart again [Chorus] I’ve gone astray, but now I see The path was never meant for me I chased their light, I wore their shape Until I took the chance to escape I’ve gone astray — but I’m okay I’m finding pieces meant to stay I’m not the one I was that day And now I’m finally on my way [Verse 2] I tried to fit where I don’t stay And lost my voice along the way I stayed so quiet, stayed too small Afraid my truth could break the walls I’m scared of who I’m trying to become Still piecing back what came undone But every fear I try to face Brings me a little closer to my place [Pre-Chorus 2] I drifted far from who I am But losing me became the plan [Chorus] I’ve gone astray, but now I see The path was never meant for me I chased their light, I wore their shape Until I took the chance to escape I’ve gone astray — but I’m okay I’m finding pieces meant to stay I’m not the one I was that day And now I’m finally on my way [Bridge] And all the parts I gave away Are finding their way back today The real me never truly died She only slept while I survived [Final Chorus] I’ve gone astray, but now I see The path they chose won’t carry me I chased their light, I wore their shape Until I finally broke to escape I’ve gone astray — but I’m okay I’m finding parts of me that stay I’m not the one I was that day And now I rise and carve my way [Outro] I lost myself and slipped astray But every scar rebuilt my way The old me’s gone — she fades away And who I am begins today
