Lyrics
IntroI spent years
Trying to become
Someone I thought
I was supposed to be.
And somewhere along the way
I forgot to ask—
Does this life
Even feel like mine?
Verse 1I saw the pictures
Everybody seemed to chase
The bigger house
The louder room
The endless race
A life built out of milestones
Someone else decided mattered
And I kept wondering
Why reaching for it
Only made me feel
Further away
Maybe I wasn't falling behind
Maybe I was walking
Toward the wrong thing
ChorusI don't need a perfect life
I need one that feels like mine
Room to breathe
Room to love
Room to leave the noise behind
I want mornings without rushing
Nights that don't feel wasted
Work that means something
Someone beside me
Who understands my silence
Maybe it looks different
Maybe that's the point
I don't want the life
They promised me
I want a life
That fits me
Verse 2I don't need every door
To open when I arrive
I don't need to prove
I'm living enough
To call it a life
Give me people I can trust
A place where I can disappear
Without having to explain
Why sometimes
I need the quiet
More than I need the crowd
And if I love someone
Let it be because
We make each other's lives
Feel more like home
BridgeMaybe I spent too long
Trying to fit myself
Into somebody else's shape
Maybe nothing was wrong with me
Maybe the shape was wrong
So I stopped asking
How a good life should look
And started asking
How I want mine
To feel
Final ChorusI don't need a perfect life
I need one that feels like mine
Room to breathe
Room to love
Room to change my fucking mind
I want something I can wake to
And still choose years from now
Work that leaves meaning
Someone beside me
Who never asks me
To become less of myself
Maybe it looks different
Maybe that's the point
I don't want the life
They promised me
I finally know
What I want
A life
That fits me
OutroIt may not look
Like the life
I once imagined.
But when I look around now—
I recognize myself.
And that's enough.
