Lyrics
[Intro - Instrumental] [Verse 1] I've been learning how to listen Instead of waiting for my turn Trying to become somebody Who deserves the love I've earned Cause every time you smile It makes me want to do better Not for applause Not for approval Just because you matter [Pre-Chorus] You bring out parts of me I didn't know were there And for the first time The future feels like somewhere [Chorus] If you need someone to lean on I can be that If you need someone to stay I can do that I'm not saying I've got everything figured out But I'd cross every distance Between who I am And who I need to be now For you [Verse 2] I'm still carrying old habits Still trying to outgrow doubt Still finding better answers For the things I used to run from But you make me want tomorrow In a way I've never known Like every step forward Is leading somewhere worth going [Pre-Chorus] You don't ask for perfection You never asked for that But somehow you inspire The best parts of who I am [Chorus] If you need someone to lean on I can be that If you need someone to stay I can do that I'm not saying I've got everything figured out But I'd cross every distance Between who I am And who I need to be now For you [Breakdown] [Heavy guitars enter, half-time drums, emotional metalcore atmosphere] [Harsh Vocals] I DON'T WANT TO BE ANOTHER MAYBE ANOTHER NAME YOU USED TO KNOW I WANT TO BE THE ONE YOU TRUST WHEN EVERYTHING ELSE LETS GO I KNOW I'M STILL CHANGING STILL FINDING MY WAY BUT EVERY ROAD I'M TAKING LEADS BACK TO YOUR NAME [Screamed] IF LOVE IS A CHOICE THEN I CHOOSE YOU AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN [Lead Guitar Solo] [Soaring melodic guitar lead, emotional bends, harmonized phrases, uplifting resolution] [Final Chorus] If you need someone to lean on I can be that If you need someone to stay I can do that And maybe I'm not everything That you've been looking for But every day I'm becoming A little more The man I want to be For you [Outro] [Ambient guitars, hopeful lead melody, fading harmonics]
