Dressed in Blue

[Verse 1]
I know the dents along this coffee cup
The little cracks I tried to cover up
I missed the train, I missed the call
Still made it home, still stood up tall

[Pre-Chorus]
I spent years bargaining with the mirror
Making every honest shape look clearer
But the face I kept trying to improve
Was the one that carried me through

[Chorus]
I can be here, I can be whole
With a restless heart and a stubborn soul
Let the day come dressed in blue
I don't have to become someone new
I can be here, I can breathe
Make a little room for what I need
This is my road, these are my hands
I’ll stop apologizing for where I stand

[Verse 2]
The rent is due, the sink is full
A half-read book and a broken rule
Some days I move, some days I stall
There’s no clean answer underneath it all

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to call the quiet failure
Count my worth by somebody else’s measure
Now I leave the window open wide
Let the unfinished life stay inside

[Chorus]
I can be here, I can be whole
With a restless heart and a stubborn soul
Let the day come dressed in blue
I don't have to become someone new
I can be here, I can breathe
Make a little room for what I need
This is my road, these are my hands
I’ll stop apologizing for where I stand

[Bridge]
If I bend, I’m not erased
If I change, I’m not replaced
Every scar can keep its name
Every detour still belongs to the same

[Final Chorus]
I can be here, I can be whole
With a restless heart and a stubborn soul
Let the day come dressed in blue
I don't have to become someone new
I can be here, I can breathe
Make a little room for what I need
This is my road, these are my hands
I’ll stop apologizing for where I stand

[Outro]
No perfect line, no borrowed plan
I’m learning how to live inside my hands
