RELEASE

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
