I used to hide the parts of me
I thought nobody could understand
Changed my words before I spoke them
Tried to fit inside another plan
I learned to smile through every question
Said “I'm fine” before I knew
But every version I was chasing
Left a little less of the truth
I don't need a perfect answer
I don't need a flawless name
I'm still learning every morning
How to stand inside my change
I’m becoming someone I can know
Someone I don’t have to let go
No more running from the pieces
That were trying to bring me home
I’m becoming someone I can trust
Not because I never break or rust
Every scar, every mistake
Is a part of who I’m gonna love
I remember all the moments
When I measured my worth by their eyes
Every compliment felt temporary
Every doubt stayed for the night
Now I listen to the silence
When my own thoughts finally speak
There’s a strength I never noticed
Growing quietly underneath
I don't need to prove my heartbeat
I don't need to win the race
The person waiting in the mirror
Was here before I changed
I’m becoming someone I can know
Someone I don’t have to let go
No more running from the pieces
That were trying to bring me home
I’m becoming someone I can trust
Not because I never break or rust
Every scar, every mistake
Is a part of who I’m gonna love
Maybe I was never missing
Maybe I was just afraid
Of the person I was meeting
When I stopped escaping
I’m becoming
I’m becoming
More than what I used to see
I’m becoming
I’m becoming
Finally becoming me
I’m becoming someone I can know
