Still Worth Loving

Verse 1
I’ve tripped on my pride, fell into shame
Said things I swore I’d never say
Burned bridges I meant to cross
Held on too tight, then counted the loss
Pre-Chorus
But every scar’s a story I survived
Every mess a mirror I can’t deny
Chorus
Loving myself through the wreckage and rage
Through the nights I cried and the days I caved
It ain’t pretty, it ain’t clean
But it’s the bravest thing I’ve ever seen
I’m still worth loving, even when I break
That’s self-care, not a mistake
Verse 2
I’ve ghosted my joy, chased validation
Built walls in the name of preservation
But grace doesn’t wait for perfection
It shows up in every confession
Bridge
So here’s to the me I tried to erase
She’s still standing, still full of grace
I’ll hold her close, flaws and all
Because rising starts with the fall
Final Chorus
Loving myself through the wreckage and rage
Through the nights I cried and the days I caved
It ain’t pretty, it ain’t clean
But it’s the bravest thing I’ve ever seen
I’m still worth loving, even when I break
That’s self-care, not a mistake
