[Verse 1] I left the kettle on again, The kitchen wore a little rain. I said the thing too sharp, too fast, Then watched the words become the past. I’m not the life I planned to be, Still there’s a hand I can reach for me. [Pre-Chorus] One more breath, one honest start, Room enough inside this heart. [Chorus] I’m still here, still learning how to love, With my cracked edges and my hands held up. I can’t live every life I dream about, But I can choose the good I’m living now. I’m still here—let the old blame go, Small kind acts are seeds I get to sow. Not perfect, no, but I’ll do what I can: Love where I am, be kind where I stand. [Verse 2] I envy roads I’ll never take, The selves I couldn’t quite awake. But every door I didn’t find Still leaves this day, this breath, this time. I’ll own the mess; I’ll make amends, Be softer with myself and friends. [Pre-Chorus] One more breath, one honest start, Room enough inside this heart. [Chorus] I’m still here, still learning how to love, With my cracked edges and my hands held up. I can’t live every life I dream about, But I can choose the good I’m living now. I’m still here—let the old blame go, Small kind acts are seeds I get to sow. Not perfect, no, but I’ll do what I can: Love where I am, be kind where I stand. [Bridge] I forgive the kid who didn’t know, I forgive the grown-up moving slow. If I have to start again, I start— With a little mercy in my heart. [Final Chorus] I’m still here, still learning how to love, With my cracked edges and my hands held up. I can’t live every life I dream about, But I can choose the good I’m living now. I’m still here—let the old blame go, Small kind acts are seeds I get to sow. Not perfect, no, but I’ll do what I can: Love where I am, be kind where I stand. [Outro] The kettle clicks. I turn it off. I try again.
