Woke up with a list of things I should’ve said

Ran it through my mind like a song stuck in my head

Smiled at a stranger, held the door too long

Guess I’m learning how to show up where I went wrong

I keep rewinding conversations

Wish I could trade hesitation for grace

Tired of waiting on the person I could be

Maybe I'm just waiting on me

I don’t need a sign from the sky

Just wanna breathe deep and mean it this time

I’m just trying to be

A little softer when I speak

A little louder when I love

A little braver when I’m weak

I’m just trying to be

More than the things I didn’t say

More than a face just fading away

Trying to be, someone I’d believe in

Wrote a note I’ll never send to who I used to be

I tried hard but lived afraid of being seen

Now I count the little wins like stars at night

Learning grace don’t have to look like getting it right

I’ve been digging through the silence

Hoping I can grow from the quiet I keep

Not chasing perfect anymore

Just chasing peace

And every thank you feels like light

Like maybe I’m starting to get it right

I’m just trying to be

A little softer when I speak

A little louder when I love

A little braver when I’m weak

I’m just trying to be

More than the things I didn’t say

More than a face just fading away

Trying to be, someone I’d believe in

Not looking for halos or headlines

Just a way to make the next step kind

Every scar’s a part of the climb

And I still got time, yeah I still got time

I’m just trying to be

A little softer when I speak

A little louder when I love

A little braver when I’m weak

I’m just trying to be

More than the things I didn’t say

More than a face just fading away

Trying to be, someone I’d believe in

Trying to be

Trying to be

Yeah, I’m trying to be

Someone I’d believe in
