Becoming Lyrics

I know I made you cry
I failed you left and right
And I've been too hard inside,
To see you hurting
And I guess all I can say,
Is that even at my age,
I'm still learning

And I know it's hard to believe
But there's been a change, in me
What I could not give you then,
I can give you now

Cause I'm becoming, whole
And I'm becoming, healed
And I'm becoming, something beautiful to see
I'm overcoming, fear
And I'm overcoming, shame
And I'm becoming, so much more than me

That's why I'm here, tonight
To try and set, things right
And rebuild the bridges I once left burning
I cannot change, the past
I cannot change, your mind
I guess all that I can change, is me

So I'm becoming, strong
And I'm becoming, wise
And I'm becoming, what you thought you'd never see
I'm overcoming, pride
And I'm overcoming, blame
And I'm becoming, so much more than me

I'm becoming, whole
And I'm becoming, healed
And I'm becoming, what you thought you'd never see
I'm overcoming, fear
And I'm overcoming, shame
And I'm becoming, so much more than me
I'm becoming

I know I made you cry 
I failed you left and right 
And I've been too hard inside, 
To see you hurting 
And I guess all I can say, 
Is that even at my age, 
I'm still learning 
 
And I know it's hard to believe 
But there's been a change, in me  
What I could not give you then,  
I can give you now 
 
Cause I'm becoming, whole 
And I'm becoming, healed 
And I'm becoming, something beautiful to see 
I'm overcoming, fear 
And I'm overcoming, shame 
And I'm becoming, so much more than me 
 
That's why I'm here, tonight 
To try and set, things right 
And rebuild the bridges I once left burning 
I cannot change, the past 
I cannot change, your mind 
I guess all that I can change, is me 
 
So I'm becoming, strong 
And I'm becoming, wise 
And I'm becoming, what you thought you'd never see 
I'm overcoming, pride 
And I'm overcoming, blame 
And I'm becoming, so much more than me 
  
I'm becoming, whole 
And I'm becoming, healed 
And I'm becoming, what you thought you'd never see 
I'm overcoming, fear 
And I'm overcoming, shame 
And I'm becoming, so much more than me
I'm becoming

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Yes you hurt me, yes you brought me to tears. But I always knew that you would become who you are now. I am so pleased to know that you are whole now. Even though I will never be there, with you again, I will always love you.
