Still Becoming Someone

V6

[Verse 1] I found the old receipts inside my winter coat A little proof of every dare I couldn’t leave alone The names I bruised, the bridges left to smoke I won’t pretend I didn’t strike the match or throw the stone [Pre-Chorus] But morning keeps its plain, unshaken face And there’s a road beyond the mess I made [Chorus] I’m going to live this life with both hands open Make a home of what I haven’t broken Let the past sit heavy, let it tell the truth I still get to choose what I do I’m not the worst thing I’ve ever done I’m still becoming someone [Verse 2] I know the shortcut by the liquor store Know how a quick yes turns to weeks I can’t restore I’ve watched my good intentions lose their nerve Now I can feel the urge and let it pass without the turn [Pre-Chorus] No grand escape, no clean slate in my hands Just one small promise I can keep again [Chorus] I’m going to live this life with both hands open Make a home of what I haven’t broken Let the past sit heavy, let it tell the truth I still get to choose what I do I’m not the worst thing I’ve ever done I’m still becoming someone [Bridge] If I stumble, I will name it If I hurt you, I will face it No more dressing up the wreckage As a fate I couldn’t change I can carry what I’ve learned Without returning to the flame [Final Chorus] I’m going to live this life with both hands open Make a home of what I haven’t broken Let the past sit heavy, let it tell the truth I still get to choose what I do I’m not the worst thing I’ve ever done I’m still becoming someone I’m still becoming someone [Outro] One clear choice, then another I’m still becoming someone
