[Verse 1] I used to chase a perfect picture Trying to become someone else Carried every little scar I had Like a secret I couldn't tell Now I look back at the younger me Standing in that hallway light He was searching for a reason I was searching for his smile [Pre-Chorus] Every wrong turn drew another map Every goodbye became a lesson back I thought I was losing pieces of myself But I was finding who I was [Chorus] I'm every version of me The ones who cried, the ones who believed Every dream that almost slipped away Was still a part of me I'm every version of me The lost, the loved, the in-between I didn't leave my past behind It walked this road with me [Verse 2] There were days I hid my colors There were nights I questioned my name But the boy who needed shelter Built a place where he could stay Every voice that tried to break me Every door that closed before Only showed me there was something Worth fighting for [Bridge] Maybe growing never meant Becoming someone new Maybe every version stays In everything we do The child, the dreamer The man I learned to be They were never lost They were always here with me [Final Chorus] I'm every version of me Every scar, every victory Every mountain, every open door Brought me back to me I'm every version of me Still changing, still believing And if tomorrow writes another page I'll welcome who I'm becoming [Outro - Spoken] I used to think growing up meant leaving parts of myself behind... But I was wrong. Growing isn't about abandoning who we were... It's about carrying every version of ourselves... With a little more kindness.
