[Verse 1] You let me miss the turn again Then drew the map in pencil You heard the same excuse from me And stayed when I went quiet You named the good I couldn’t see You lent me steadier eyes I kept on learning how to fall You kept the door unlatched [Pre-Chorus] For every patient, honest word For every second chance I’m still becoming, still unsure But I can see your hands [Chorus] You stood by me while I grew Through the wrong turns I put you through I’m not there yet, but I’m getting through And I carry a little of you You stood by me while I grew When I broke what I meant to do I’m still becoming something true And I carry a little of you [Verse 2] You let me test the edge of things And didn’t call it wisdom You showed me where my choices land Then left the choice still mine I wore your patience thin some days You never made it simple You told me when I missed the mark And stayed to help me start [Pre-Chorus] For every patient, honest word For every second chance I’m still becoming, still unsure But I can see your hands [Chorus] You stood by me while I grew Through the wrong turns I put you through I’m not there yet, but I’m getting through And I carry a little of you You stood by me while I grew When I broke what I meant to do I’m still becoming something true And I carry a little of you [Bridge] I’ll fail again, I know I will But failure isn’t all I am The ones who saw me start to mend Are written in the way I stand [Final Chorus] You stood by me while I grew Through the wrong turns I put you through I’m not there yet, but I’m getting through And I carry a little of you You stood by me while I grew When I broke what I meant to do I’m still becoming something true And I carry a little of you [Outro] Still becoming, still in view I carry a little of you
