Still Me

(humm-mm-mm) I grew up a little faster than I thought I would,

Learned that not everybody stays like they said they would.

I’ve had people walk away,

had people change,

Had nights where I questioned if I was enough anyway.

I’ve smiled when I was hurting just to keep things okay,

Said “I’m good” when I really had a lot to say.

But somewhere in the middle of everything I’ve been through,

I started finding pieces of the real me too.

I’m still learning,

still growing,

Still figuring out where I’m going.

But every scar and every tear

Made me who I am

standing here.

I’m still me, after everything,

Still chasing dreams, still trying to believe.

Still got a heart that cares too much sometimes,

Still looking for the good in a world that ain’t always kind.

I’ve lost some people,

found some friends, Had some beginnings that turned into ends.

But if tomorrow changes everything,

I’ll look back

and know I stayed true to me.

There’s people in my life I swear God sent for a reason,

Some stayed for years,

some only stayed for a season.

Some became brothers without sharing my name,

Some taught me lessons through the hurt and the pain.

I’ve learned that being strong doesn’t mean you never break,

Sometimes it means you keep going for another day.

And when I don’t know where this road is gonna go,

I just take another step and trust I’ll know.

I’m still learning,

still growing, Still carrying things I ain’t always showing.

But every loss and every fear

Got me standing stronger here.

Maybe I don’t have it figured out,

Maybe I’ll still have days filled with doubt.

But I know the kid I used to be

Would be proud of who I’m trying to be.

For everybody I’ve loved,

For everybody I’ve lost,

For every time I almost gave up But decided it was worth

the cost.

I’m still me, after all these years,

Still got hope underneath the tears.

Still got people I would give the world to,

Still got dreams I’m gonna fight my way through.

And when I finally look back someday,

I hope I can say I lived my own way.

I wasn’t perfect, but I gave everything,

And through it all,

I never lost me.

Yeah, life changed me,

But it never took me.

I’m still here.

I’m still

me.
