More Than I Was (Slow and Low)

[Verse 1] I remember that man in the mirror Didn’t like what he saw Tryin’ hard just to hold it together While he losin’ it all Chasin’ things that don’t matter Breakin’ down in the dark Wearin’ weight like a shadow Everywhere that he walked ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I’ve been low, I’ve been lost Paid the price for every cost But I wouldn’t trade the road I walked For who I am right now ⸻ [Chorus] I’m more than I was, stronger than yesterday Every scar got a story, every loss made a way I was down, I was broken, but I learned how to stand Now I carry that fire where the fear used to land Yeah I’ve been through the storm, felt the rain, felt the flood But it built somethin’ deeper in my soul and my blood I ain’t who I was, no I’m more than enough Yeah I’m more… than I was ⸻ [Verse 2] I was runnin’ on empty Tryin’ not to let show Had a house full of people But still felt alone Every plan felt like failure Every step outta place But the man in the mirror Started changin’ his face ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Piece by piece, day by day Found a better, stronger way Turned the pressure into weight That I could finally raise ⸻ [Chorus] I’m more than I was, stronger than yesterday Every scar got a story, every loss made a way I was down, I was broken, but I learned how to stand Now I carry that fire where the fear used to land Yeah I’ve been through the storm, felt the rain, felt the flood But it built somethin’ deeper in my soul and my blood I ain’t who I was, no I’m more than enough Yeah I’m more… than I was ⸻ [Bridge] (strip down, then build) I thank God for the nights I ain’t sleep For the battles that brought me to my knees Every tear, every doubt, every fall Made a man that can stand through it all ⸻ [Final Chorus – bigger, layered vocals] I’m more than I was, I can feel it in my bones Got a strength I ain’t never really known Yeah the past tried to hold me, but it don’t anymore I done walked through the fire and I came out restored Yeah I’ve been through the storm, felt the rain, felt the flood But it built somethin’ deeper in my soul and my blood I ain’t who I was, no I’m more than enough Yeah I’m more… than I was
