[Verse 1] I hated who I was For as long as I remember Looking in the mirror Then looking away Another endless night Scrolling through my phone Watching perfect lives While I sat alone Every smiling picture Made me feel smaller [Verse 2] Ever since I was a child I loved to draw Filling notebooks With imaginary worlds I wasn't talented I wasn't the best There was always somebody Better than me So I kept my sketches hidden Nobody knew But every line I drew Was quietly keeping me alive [Verse 3] One quiet evening I posted a drawing On social media Just because Lost among thousands Of pictures and words I never imagined Anybody would care [Breakdown] (phone notification) (almost silence) I almost ignored it Like every other day Then I opened it And read "That's a beautiful drawing." (long pause) [Chorus] For the first time I wanted to believe For the first time Maybe there was more in me A tiny light Buried deep inside Waiting all this time To be seen For the first time I finally cried [Bridge] The next morning Looked exactly the same Same train Same office Same ordinary day Then somebody smiled And said to me "Did something good happen?" "You seem different today." And somehow I smiled back A little brighter [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I wanna keep drawing Maybe I wanna keep trying There's still a long way to go But now I wanna know What else I can become Maybe happiness Was never far away Maybe it was hiding Inside small moments Waiting for me To notice [Final Chorus] For the first time I think I can believe For the first time In the person I can be Every line Every dream Every tear I cried Led me here Maybe I'm enough Just being me The kid I used to be Would smile at me today Maybe this is only The beginning [Outro] (soft guitar) Tonight I think I'll draw again For the first time I can't wait For tomorrow
