Hey

I don’t really know how to say this

So I’ll just say it

First song on a cracked little mic

Didn’t know if it sounded right

I almost fixed every flaw

Then I stopped and let it talk

Some notes sharp, some words too much

Some feelings I didn’t touch

Still I pressed upload and froze

Like “please don’t let this go nowhere”

I kept the parts that scared me

Left the mess in the frame

If you heard something real in it

Then it wasn’t a mistake

You loved me anyway

That’s the part I can’t explain

When I wasn’t clean or confident

You stayed

I know I’m not perfect

I know I’m not easy to take

But you loved me anyway

Yeah, you loved me anyway

Saw your words light up my screen

Didn’t know what they’d mean to me

Just a “hey, this made me smile”

And my hands stopped shaking for a while

I thought I had to shine brighter

Be sweeter, quieter, lighter

But you heard me as I was

And that rewired something in my chest

I thought being seen meant breaking

Thought being loved meant clean

But you met me in the static

And called it cute, called it me

You loved me anyway

When my confidence slipped away

When my smile came out sideways

You stayed

I know I get a little strange

I know I overthink everything

But you loved me anyway

Yeah, you loved me anyway

I was scared no one would notice

Scared I’d disappear

But one single listen

Made the world feel near

I’m still learning how to speak

Still learning how to sing

So if this sounds a little broken

Please know it’s honestly me

You loved me anyway

Not the version I pretend

You heard the doubt, the noise, the cracks

And said “play it again”

If I’m a little toxic sometimes

If I say thanks the wrong way

This is me being real with you

You loved me anyway

I’ll mess it up again

I’ll try again too

See you next upload
