One Step at a Time

Intro

Two steps down

Thought I lost my way

But I'm still here

Still breathing

Still trying

Verse 1

Missed two steps

Landed wrong

Now my whole foot singing pain in this song

Black brace wrapped around what I can't explain

Every little step got a memory of pain

I been carrying years that nobody could see

Trying to find a little room just to breathe

They tell me where to go

Tell me what to do

But somewhere in my heart I still know what's true

I don't wanna fight

I just wanna be free

Build my own life

Let the future come to me

Put my past in a box

Put my fear on the floor

One day I'm gonna open my own front door

Pre-Chorus

And if I fall tonight

I know I'll rise again

This pain ain't who I am

It's only where I've been

Chorus

Two steps down but I'm still alive

One more day I'm gonna make it outside

Broken heart

Hurt foot

Tears in my eyes

Still got a dream that refuses to die

I want my own place

I want my own name

I want real love without fear and games

If tomorrow comes and I'm hurting again

I'll take one more step

I'll begin again

Verse 2

I been thinking about love in the middle of pain

Wondering if somebody will stay when it rains

I don't need perfection

I don't need a lie

Just somebody honest who can look in my eyes

If she needs space

I'll give her that space

Love ain't possession

Love ain't a chase

If she comes back we'll talk heart to heart

If she walks away I'll still make a new start

I got dreams bigger than the room I'm in

College work new city let the healing begin

Healthcare dreams

Technology in my hands

Trying to build something nobody else planned

Pre-Chorus

And if I fall tonight

I know I'll rise again

This pain ain't who I am

It's only where I've been

Chorus

Two steps down but I'm still alive

One more day I'm gonna make it outside

Broken heart

Hurt foot

Tears in my eyes

Still got a dream that refuses to die

I want my own place

I want my own name

I want real love without fear and games

If tomorrow comes and I'm hurting again

I'll take one more step

I'll begin again

Bridge

Maybe healing ain't fast

Maybe freedom takes time

Maybe every scar

Is a page in my life

I don't have to know

Every road tonight

I just need enough strength

For the next small stride

Final Chorus

Two steps down now I'm looking ahead

All those words they said don't live in my head

I survived the nights when I wanted to hide

Now I'm building a future one step at a time

My own key

My own room

My own road

No more carrying everybody else's load

Love if it's real let it come naturally

And if tomorrow hurts

I'll still choose me

Outro

One step

Then another

I ain't finished

I'm healing

I'm moving forward

Two steps down

Still standing
