[Verse 1] I wore my pain like a second skin Thought I was lost before I could begin Every scar kept score in the quiet dark Every wound drew lines around my heart I stayed too long with the ghosts I fed Carried old storms in my aching head But somewhere low in the ember glow I heard my name and I let it go [Chorus] I’m learning how to love me now Not the broken parts, not the heavy doubt I’m finding home in my own breath Choosing grace over the things I left I’m learning how to love me now (I’m learning how to love me now) [Verse 2] If I could turn the night around I’d hold you close and never let you down But I can only face what’s here And build a life from the tears and fear My kids still shine in the back of my mind Little hands I missed, lost days I can’t rewind I count the ways I came up short All the moments I failed to be their port [Pre-Chorus] Guilt sat deep like a stone in my chest Whispered, “girl, you did your best” Now I speak soft to the child in me And the woman I was, I set her free [Chorus] I’m learning how to love me now Not the broken parts, not the heavy doubt I’m finding home in my own breath Choosing grace over the things I left I’m learning how to love me now (I’m learning how to love me now) [Bridge] No more running from the mirror’s gaze No more living in a shame-filled haze I can’t rewrite what time has made But I can be the light I forgave For every bruise, I found my name For every loss, I learned to change And if love begins with mercy first Maybe I can heal what used to hurt [Final Chorus] I’m learning how to love me now Not the broken parts, not the heavy doubt I’m finding home in my own breath Choosing grace over the things I left I’m learning how to love me now I’m learning how to love me now So I breathe in, let the old pain fade Carry the truth that I’m remade Not perfect, but I’m finally real Learning how to love, learning how to heal
