(Verse 1)

Stuck in a maze of endless choices,

Roads that split with distant voices,

Gotta walk alone, try to stand tall,

Feels like I'm climbing just to fall.

(Pre-Chorus)

They said it'd be simple, said it’d be clear,

But nobody told me 'bout the doubts and the fear,

Every lesson feels like a scar,

But maybe that’s what makes us who we are.

(Chorus)

Growing up ain't easy, it’s a messy fight,

Searching for answers in the dead of night,

Learning to stumble, learning to stand,

With every step I’m finding who I am.

(Verse 2)

Falling down’s become routine,

Dreams get tangled in the in-between,

The world’s got plans I didn’t choose,

But I’m learning how to win and lose.

(Pre-Chorus)

They told me to be strong, told me to hold on,

But nobody warned me it'd feel this wrong,

Every scar just adds to the weight,

But maybe that’s the price to create.

(Chorus)

Growing up ain't easy, it’s a messy fight,

Searching for answers in the dead of night,

Learning to stumble, learning to stand,

With every step I’m finding who I am.

(Bridge)

Bruises turn to strength, mistakes become my guide,

In this world so wide, I’m learning not to hide,

Piece by piece, I’m carving my own way,

Maybe it’s enough just trying to stay.

(Chorus)

Growing up ain't easy, it’s a messy fight,

Searching for answers in the dead of night,

Learning to stumble, learning to stand,

With every step I’m finding who I am.

(Outro)

So here I am, bruised but whole,

The cost of learning, of finding my soul,

And maybe someday, I'll look back and see,

Every stumble was building the real me.
