MINE

There are days I feel like I'm too much

And nights I ache for a softer touch

I smile through storms no one sees

Still searching for the girl I used to be

I hold it all, the pain, the grace

Still looking for a familiar face

Sometimes I wish they'd understand

Why I still reach for an invisible hand

I carry love like a prayer unsaid

In the quiet corners of my bed

Not broken, just becoming whole

A woman rising from her soul

I'm still the woman who craves her mom

Still the girl who longs for her dad

Still the woman who needs her man

But I'm one step closer to being mine

I trace the wounds that shaped my name

And kiss the echoes of old shame

I loved too deep, I stayed too long

But maybe that's what makes me strong

I don't have all the answers yet

Still dance with shadows of regret

But every tear that I survive

Is proof I'm beautifully alive

I'm not the silence you dismissed

I'm not the girl who ceased to exist

I'm every part I've ever been

And now I breathe from deep within

I'm still the woman who craves her mom

Still the girl who longs for her dad

Still the woman who needs her man

But I'm one step closer to being mine

I don't need to be over it all

Healing's not neat, it's loud, it's raw

I'm not a goodbye, I'm not a scar

I'm the light that came from falling apart

I'm still the woman who craves her mom

Still the girl who longs for her dad

Still the woman who needs her man

But I'm one step closer to being mine

Yeah, I'm one step closer to being mine
