[Intro] I remember who I was Before I knew the world Before I learned to hide Before I learned to hurt [Verse 1] I was small beneath the sun Chasing shadows on the wall Every dream was big enough I thought I'd have it all I didn't know what fear could do Or how a heart could change Tomorrow felt like somewhere new A place I could escape [Verse 2] Then I started losing sleep Over things I couldn't name I wanted to become someone But didn't know what to chase I learned that love could disappear And people could change So I built a world inside myself And slowly hid away [Verse 3] I ran into the world With more questions than before Chasing things I thought I needed Still searching for something more I lost some along the way And parts of myself too I kept moving through the years Not knowing what to do [Pre-Chorus] And every time I changed Something stayed behind A little piece of who I was Still living in my mind [Chorus] I'm not who I used to be But they're still a part of me Every grace, every mistake Every road I chose to take All the selves I left behind Still come walking through my mind Maybe growing isn't leaving Maybe I'm becoming me [Verse 4] Now I see the world again Through someone else's eyes And somehow I can recognize The person I left behind I want to give what I once needed I want to make things right But sometimes I still wonder If I'm learning to be kind [Bridge] I thought I'd have the answers By the time I reached this place But life keeps turning pages And I keep learning how to change The child I was The person I became The one I'm still becoming They're all still here [Final Chorus] I'm not who I used to be But they're still a part of me Every cries, every mistake Made the person I became All the selves I left behind Are still living in my mind Maybe growing isn't leaving Maybe I'm becoming me [Outro] I remember who I was I can see who I've become And somewhere in between I was becoming me
