[Verse 1] I know the names I gave my hunger The easy yes, the borrowed high The promises I left half-open Like doors I meant to close behind [Pre-Chorus] But every mile I made it through Still leaves a road I get to choose [Chorus] I’m not the wreckage of my worst days Not every turn I took in haste There’s breath enough to start again A steady hand, a clearer end I’ll make a life I can stand inside With all these marks and all this time The past can ride, but it won’t decide I’m still becoming who I am [Verse 2] Some mornings bring the old excuses A familiar voice, a well-worn way I let it speak, then let it pass me I don’t have to obey [Pre-Chorus] The ground is rough, the climb is real But I can choose the next step still [Chorus] I’m not the wreckage of my worst days Not every turn I took in haste There’s breath enough to start again A steady hand, a clearer end I’ll make a life I can stand inside With all these marks and all this time The past can ride, but it won’t decide I’m still becoming who I am [Bridge] I won’t erase the roads behind me Or dress the damage up as fate I’ll meet the person in the mirror And give him one more honest day [Final Chorus] I’m not the wreckage of my worst days I’m more than every turn in haste There’s strength enough to start again A steady heart, a wider end I’ll make a life I can stand inside With all these marks and all this time The past can ride, but it won’t decide I’m still becoming who I am [Outro] One honest day Then one again
