[Verse 1] I don’t react the way I did I catch it more, I sit with it I let the moment pass instead Of going where it always went I’m learning how to slow it down Not every thought needs to be loud But just because I see it now Don’t mean I’ve figured it all out ⸻ [Chorus] I’m better… not yet Still working through it Still catching myself Right before I lose it I’m closer than I’ve ever been To something I can trust I’m better… not yet But I’m not who I was ⸻ [Verse 2] Some nights still feel like second guesses Some days I fall back into habits But I don’t stay there like before I don’t get stuck inside it There’s progress in the way I pause In choosing not to numb it off Even when it’s uncomfortable I let it be what it is ⸻ 🌉 [Bridge — honest tension] I thought it would be cleaner than this I thought it would be clear Like once I knew what I was doing I’d just disappear from here But it’s slower than I want it And harder than I thought Still choosing something different Every time I get caught ⸻ [Lift — subtle rise, almost mantra] Maybe this is what it takes Maybe this is what it is Not a switch, not overnight Just a thousand little shifts ⸻ [Final Chorus — more grounded, less reaching] I’m better… not yet Still walking through it Still finding my voice Still learning to use it I’m closer than I’ve ever been To something that feels like me I’m better… not yet But I’m finally free ⸻ [Outro — soft, resolved] Not there yet …but I’m on my way
