I'm Still Me

Same boots by the door, same old street,

Same sunrise pulling me outta sleep.

I don't talk about it like I used to do,

But I still feel everything too.

I learned how to sit in the quiet alone,

Let the nights pass without my phone.

Yeah, I bent, but I didn't break,

Still standing here, still got faith.

I ain't perfect, I ain't brand new,

Just a little more honest, a little less bruised.

I'm still me, just a little more calm,

Still got a heart, still feel it when it's gone.

I don't love any less, I just love more slow,

I don't chase what I already know.

I've been hurt, yeah, I've been changed,

But I didn't lose myself in the pain.

I'm still me, if you're wondering…

I'm still me.

I don't need closure to sleep at night,

Don't need answers to know I'm alright.

I let some things fall where they may,

Learned not everything's mine to save.

I still believe in love that lasts,

Still believe in roots, not just the past.

If I give my heart, it's still real,

Just a little more careful with how I feel.

I ain't colder, I just grew,

Learned the difference between love and truth.

I'm still me, just a little more calm,

Still got a heart, still feel it when it's gone.

I don't love any less, I just love more slow,

I don't chase what I already know.

I've been hurt, yeah, I've been changed,

But I didn't lose myself in the pain.

I'm still me, if you're wondering…

I'm still me.

If you're scared of loving someone real,

Someone who stays when it starts to feel…

Then I might not be what you need,

But I'll always be honest about me.

I'm still me, same soul, new skin,

Still believe in forever if it's meant.

I don't promise perfect, I promise true,

If you're walking slow, I'll walk with you.

I've been hurt, yeah, I've been changed,

But I didn't let it harden my name.

I'm still me…

Yeah, I'm still me.
