Best Me That Will Ever Exist

[Verse 1]
I wake with the whole day open
No mask, no borrowed name
Every mark I carry forward
Is proof I stayed in the frame

I used to measure my breathing
By what I had yet to prove
Now every second is sacred
And every step can move

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the unfinished stay unfinished
Let the answers take their time
I am more than any record
I am here, and I am alive

[Chorus]
I am the best me that will ever exist
Right here in the heat of this
No perfect shape, no counterfeit
I take the moment, I take the risk

I am the best me that will ever exist
Every breath is a universe
If this is all I get, then this
Is enough to make it worth it

[Verse 2]
I leave the door to the daylight
I let the hard truth in
There are days I lose my balance
There are days I begin again

I don't need a distant version
Waiting somewhere to arrive
The hands I have, the heart I have
Are the ones that make this life

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the unfinished stay unfinished
Let the answers take their time
I am more than any record
I am here, and I am alive

[Chorus]
I am the best me that will ever exist
Right here in the heat of this
No perfect shape, no counterfeit
I take the moment, I take the risk

I am the best me that will ever exist
Every breath is a universe
If this is all I get, then this
Is enough to make it worth it

[Bridge]
When the old voice says, "Not yet"
I answer, "Look at me"
I have crossed a thousand versions
To become what I can be

No finish line can hold me
No yesterday can decide
I will meet the next heartbeat
With my whole self open wide

[Final Chorus]
I am the best me that will ever exist
Right here in the heat of this
No perfect shape, no counterfeit
I take the moment, I take the risk

I am the best me that will ever exist
Every breath is a universe
I don't need another life to live
I choose this one, I choose this

[Outro]
This breath, this step, this open door
I am here for all of it
This breath, this step, this open door
I am the best me that will ever exist
