08 - I Remember Me

[Verse 1]
I remember when the lines were straight,
Right was right, wrong was wrong—no debate.
Said my piece like a Sunday prayer,
Never thought that flame would thin to air.
Friends would call just to waste some time,
Now it’s scammers blowin’ up my line.
Somewhere under years and weight,
I let the good parts slip away.

[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m diggin’ where the light gets in,
Through the rust and the dust and the dents I’m in.

[Chorus]
I remember me— I’m comin’ back to me.
All the gray and the noise can’t steal what’s meant to be.
Every tear, every scar, every broken piece—
Nothing wasted, nothing wasted on me.
Nothing wasted, nothing wasted on me.

[Verse 2]
I’ve been bent, I’ve been bruised by the spin,
Lost my way ‘til I hit the ground again.
Cracks I cursed let the sunlight through,
And the broken road’s where the mercy grew.
Black-and-white’s gone, but I’m learnin’ still,
How to hold my peace when the world gets loud.
Taking back what the years wore thin—
The edges, the courage, the truth within.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m diggin’ where the light gets in,
With a steady hand and a steady grin.

[Chorus]
I remember me— I’m comin’ back to me.
All the gray and the noise can’t steal what’s meant to be.
Every tear, every scar, every broken piece—
Nothing wasted, nothing wasted on me.
Nothing wasted, nothing wasted on me.

[Bridge]
Every loss was a seed I couldn’t see,
Every “no” drew a map right back to me.
All the miles, all the nights I prayed—
They were paving the road to this day.

[Chorus – Lift]
I remember me— the one I’m meant to be.
Not a shadow, not a stranger, just the truth in me.
Every tear, every scar, every broken piece—
Nothing wasted, nothing wasted on me.

[Post-Chorus / Outro]
Nothing wasted, nothing wasted on me…
Yeah, I remember— I remember me.
