I used to think I knew what life was
Thought I had it all figured out
Now my heart wakes up before I do
And I run on coffee and “somehows”
There’s a picture of who I was on the dresser
I still see her in these eyes
But she’s grown into a stronger woman
Who’s rocking you to sleep tonight
I didn’t see it coming
How this tiny heartbeat could rearrange my whole life
Every fear and hope I’ve ever known
Lies behind your eyes
Chorus
I measure my days in naps and miracles
In whispered prayers and holding on
I let go of dreams to watch new ones grow
Into someone who calls me “mom”
I’m more tired than I’ve ever been
But I finally know what’s true
I didn’t lose myself at all
I found myself in you
Verse 2
There are nights I cry in the mirror
Wondering if I’m doing this right
Counting all the ways I came up short
Then you reach for me, and I’m alright
Every mess, every misstep, every worry
I carry like a stone
But you smile like I’m your whole world
And I don’t feel so alone
I’m learning grace ain’t perfect answers
It’s just pushing through the doubt
Being everything I need to be
Even when I feel worn out
Chorus
I measure my days in naps and miracles
In whispered prayers and holding on
I let go of dreams to watch new ones grow
Into someone who calls me “mom”
I’m more tired than I’ve ever been
But I finally know what’s true
I didn’t lose myself at all
I found myself in you
Bridge
One day you’ll walk out that front door
With dreams bigger than my fears
And I’ll miss the weight of you asleep right here
And every one of these short years
But if loving you means letting go
I’ll do it with my head held high
’Cause every piece I ever gave you
Was the best part of my life
Final Chorus
I measured my days in naps and miracles
In whispered prayers and holding on
I let go of dreams to watch new ones grow
Into someone who still calls me “mom”
I was more tired than I’d ever been
But I learned what love can do
I didn’t lose myself at all
I found myself in you
No, I didn’t lose myself at all
I found myself in you
