[Verse 1] I used to think the road was straight A line to follow, a plan, a fate But every wrong turn, every delay Was quietly shaping who I'd become one day I wore my failures like a second skin Carried old doubts everywhere I'd been Now looking back through the passing years I see the meaning hidden in the tears [Pre-Chorus] Nothing was wasted Nothing was wrong Every broken piece Was moving me along [Chorus] I'm becoming me That's all I've ever been trying to be Every scar Every dream Every in-between I'm becoming me The person I was searching for was underneath Every fall Set me free I'm becoming me [Verse 2] Some doors closed before I arrived Some loves faded, some survived Some nights felt too heavy to hold But every story left a little gold And all the faces along the way Still live somewhere inside today A thousand moments I couldn't see Were building the man I'd grow to be [Pre-Chorus] Nothing was wasted Nothing was wrong Every broken piece Was moving me along [Chorus] I'm becoming me That's all I've ever been trying to be Every scar Every dream Every in-between I'm becoming me The person I was searching for was underneath Every fall Set me free I'm becoming me [Instrumental Break] [Rhodes piano enters] [Filtered bass swell] [Deep house kick emerges] [Hypnotic acoustic guitar loop] [Bridge] If I could speak to my younger self Standing there afraid of everything I'd say Trust the road Trust the pain One day you'll understand [Final Chorus] I'm becoming me That's all I've ever been trying to be Every scar Every dream Every in-between I'm becoming me The person I was searching for was underneath Every fall Set me free I'm becoming me Oh... I'm becoming me Every road Every memory Was becoming me
