[Verse 1] I count the flaws beneath my shirt Keep score of every little hurt I practice smiles in bathroom glass Then watch the better version pass I call it drive, I call it grit But some days I am tired of it The finish line keeps moving on As if my name was something wrong [Pre-Chorus] I keep treating my own heart Like a test I have to pass Every bruise becomes a mark Every mirror holds me back [Chorus] I am not a problem to solve Not a race I have to win I can meet myself where I am And still become who I am within All these cracks are part of me All this fear can lose its teeth I am not less because I bend I am myself, and I begin again [Verse 2] I borrow faces from the crowd Wear their standards like they are proud I trade my sleep for one more proof Then wonder why I hate the truth The voice that says I am behind Was built from someone else’s mind I let it knock, I let it speak But it does not get to name my week [Pre-Chorus] I keep turning every scar Into evidence against my skin Maybe growth is not becoming someone else Maybe it is letting myself in [Chorus] I am not a problem to solve Not a race I have to win I can meet myself where I am And still become who I am within All these cracks are part of me All this fear can lose its teeth I am not less because I bend I am myself, and I begin again [Bridge] If I change, let it be from love Not the panic of not being enough If I fall, let the floor be kind I do not have to leave myself behind [Final Chorus] I am not a problem to solve Not a race I have to win I can meet myself where I am And still become who I am within All these cracks are part of me All this fear can lose its teeth I am not less because I bend I am myself, and I begin again I am myself, and I begin again [Outro] I am here I am here Still becoming Still sincere
