Just Being You
Verse 1
I used to wake up fighting yesterday
Every little doubt had something to say
Every mirror tried to slow me down
Every worry tried to run the town
She just laughed, said “Listen to me”
Fear ain’t the boss of who you’ll be
Put her hand right over mine
Said you been ready all this time
Pre-Chorus
She said courage don’t mean no fear
It means you still move when it’s here
Chorus
She makes me better when she’s around
Turns my shaky steps into solid ground
She don’t lead the way, don’t steal the show
She just lets my best side finally show
I don’t rise just to prove I can
I rise ‘cause she knows the man I am
I was ready long before I knew
She makes me better
Just being you
Verse 2
I chased loud rooms and cheap applause
Thought the prize was proof I was right all along
She flipped the script with a simple line
Said the only thing you gotta win is time
If you walk back into that fire again
Make it for love, not money or men
Leave all the noise for somebody else
This one’s for you, go be yourself
Pre-Chorus
She said love ain’t pulling strings
It’s knowing when to let go and let you swing
Chorus
She makes me better when she calls my name
Turns my doubt into rhythm, my fear into flame
She don’t fight my fights, don’t clear my lane
She just makes me wanna stand up straight again
I don’t move ‘cause the crowd says “go”
I move ‘cause she sees what they don’t know
I was ready long before I knew
She makes me better
Just being you
Bridge
Empty hands
yeah I been there too
She said what you need
been living in you
Chorus
She makes me better, that’s the truth
Makes a grown man feel brand new
I don’t rise ‘cause I got no fear
I rise ‘cause I know she’s here
I was ready long before I knew
She makes me better
Just being you
Outro
Yeah, she makes me better
Just being you
