One Clear Yes

[Verse 1]
I know the turn where I gave in
The quick excuse, the borrowed grin
A pocket full of keys I lost
A map redrawn at double cost
You saw me leave the table bare
Then come back honest, still right there

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t call the wreckage fate
I can name the choice and change the weight

[Chorus]
I’m still here, I’m still choosing
Even with the old roads bruising
I can make a life that’s mine
One clear yes at a time
I’m not clean, I’m not through
But I know what I can do
I’ll keep reaching for the day
I can live the way I say

[Verse 2]
There’s a receipt in an old coat
A half-said truth I couldn’t hold
I hear that hungry little spark
Selling shortcuts in the dark
But you don’t have to drag me home
I’ll take the long way on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t call the wreckage fate
I can name the choice and change the weight

[Chorus]
I’m still here, I’m still choosing
Even with the old roads bruising
I can make a life that’s mine
One clear yes at a time
I’m not clean, I’m not through
But I know what I can do
I’ll keep reaching for the day
I can live the way I say

[Bridge]
If I slip, I’ll tell the truth
No grand disguise, no vanished proof
I’ll set the glass down, face the door
And ask what I am reaching for
You don’t owe me a rescue line
Just let me show you, one day at a time

[Final Chorus]
I’m still here, I’m still choosing
Even with the old roads bruising
I can make a life that’s mine
One clear yes at a time
I’m not clean, I’m not through
But I know what I can do
I’ll keep reaching for the day
I can live the way I say

[Outro]
One clear yes at a time
I can live the way I say
