[Verse 1] You kept the porch light on for me When I came back with another bruise You let me talk in circles till I found the honest thing to lose You marked the page where I went wrong Then showed me where the good lines start I wore your patience like a coat And still kept pulling at the heart [Pre-Chorus] I missed the step, I missed the cue You made a little room for two [Chorus] For every hand that held me steady Every voice that told the truth I’m still becoming, still unready Still learning how to follow through I fall, I try, I rise a little better I carry what you gave me through For all the days you stayed beside me I’m becoming—thanks to you [Verse 2] You took my calls at closing time You heard the same old fear again You never called the mess a masterpiece You said, “Begin where you have been” I’ve broken plans and bent your trust Then watched you leave the door ajar No grand forgiveness, just your words: “Keep going. Tell me who you are.” [Pre-Chorus] I missed the mark, I missed the turn You stayed long enough to let me learn [Chorus] For every hand that held me steady Every voice that told the truth I’m still becoming, still unready Still learning how to follow through I fall, I try, I rise a little better I carry what you gave me through For all the days you stayed beside me I’m becoming—thanks to you [Bridge] If I make something kind from this If I leave a softer mark It began with all your ordinary grace When I was lost inside the dark I won’t pretend I’ve reached the end I’ll fail, repair, and start anew And every time I choose to grow A little of that choice is you [Final Chorus] For every hand that held me steady Every voice that told the truth I’m still becoming, still unready Still learning how to follow through I fall, I try, I rise a little better I carry what you gave me through For all the days you stayed beside me I’m becoming—thanks to you [Outro] Still becoming, thanks to you Still becoming, thanks to you
