Lyrics
My comeback's lagging... Yeah... But maybe... I've still got one more try... Everybody knows the girl I used to be, The one who made it all look easy naturally. They still believe I'm only one good day away, But somehow all my confidence got lost along the way. The planner's full of promises, The mirror knows the truth... I'm learning how to meet myself Without my old excuse. Another list... Another plan... Another quiet start... Maybe healing doesn't happen All at once... It happens heart by heart. My comeback's lagging... I'm still finding my pace. Some dreams just take a little longer Than the world's expected race. I've stumbled more than once... I've questioned every sign... But somewhere underneath the silence... Hope is still alive. My comeback's lagging... Maybe that's alright... 'Cause I've still got one more dream... And one more try tonight. I don't need yesterday To tell me who I am. I'm more than every highlight People saved inside their hands. One small step this morning... One more page to write... Maybe courage isn't winning... Maybe courage is tonight. What if I don't need To become who I once was? What if the girl I'm growing into Needs a little more because... The road became much steeper, The heart became much wise... Maybe every quiet failure Is teaching me to rise My comeback's lagging... But I'm still here somehow. Maybe this isn't the ending... Maybe this is learning how. The world's still moving quickly... I'll move one step at a time. I don't need all the answers... Just one more reason to climb. My comeback's lagging... And that's perfectly alright... Because tomorrow's waiting... And I've still got... One more try Alarm set... Sunrise soon... One fresh page... One more try...
