Grateful And Grounded

My Lyrics Sung By AI (Intro) (Soft piano melody starts, light bass kicks in) Yeah. You gotta grow to know, you know? I’m grateful... Look. (Verse 1) I’m grateful for my past, yeah, I’m grateful for the path Grateful for the life we had and every single laugh. It was different from my mundane, a break from the routine, I regret nothing, baby, you were once my favorite scene. And I don’t hate you for the heartbreak, I don’t carry the regret, Life goes on, we live and learn, that’s as honest as it gets. I just hope that you’ll forgive me for moving on so fast, But I had to find a version of myself that’s built to last. I’m grateful for the pain, it made me look within the mirror, Didn't save what we once had, but it made my vision clearer. Turned me to a better man, I’m patient, feeling calm, Choosing peace over the chaos, keeping healing in my palm. I’m the same caring soul, quiet nights and snuggling close, But now I’m grounded in the self-love, that’s what matters most. I don’t take the disrespect, I know my value and my worth, If you can’t meet me halfway, then I’m leaving—down to earth. I just walk. (Chorus) I’m moving with the rhythm of a brand new heart Learning how to love is a delicate art. I’m grateful for the shadows that led me to the light, I’m standing in my value, no longer in the fight. From the lessons of the old to the beauty of the new, I’m thankful for the man I became because of you. (Verse 2) So I met a woman, look, I wasn’t even searching, Started off as friends, just two people who were working— On themselves. Spent the hours, then I started liking more, Something ‘bout her aura, something I could not ignore. She’s got Borderline, they say, but I don’t see it in her eyes, My natural calmness regulates the lows and the highs. She’s unique, she’s different, she’s a rhythm of her own, She makes me happy, makes me feel like I am finally home. I make her feel seen, safe, and wanted in the night, Something missing from the past, now we’re stepping in the light. I ain't pointing fingers, nah, I ain't shifting all the blame, I’m mature enough to own the parts that led me to the flame. No one’s perfect, I tried my best with what I had to give, But I still had lots to learn ‘bout the way I want to live. Had to kill my child-like ego, let it burn and be destroyed, By the one I once cherished, once loved, and once adored. (Bridge) (Beat strips back, just the kick and the piano) It’s not about the walls I built, it’s about the gates I keep, The promises I’m making now are ones I intend to keep. I’ve traded in the chaos for a quiet kind of strength, I’ll go the distance for her, I will go to any length... But I’ll never lose myself again. (Chorus) I’m moving with the rhythm of a brand new heart Learning how to love is a delicate art. I’m grateful for the shadows that led me to the light, I’m standing in my value, no longer in the fight. From the lessons of the old to the beauty of the new, I’m thankful for the man I became because of you. (Verse 3) Back to my life, this new woman that I fell for, She’s the type I see forever, someone I would give it all for. But I won’t let that cloud me, nah, I felt that way before, Left hanging in the balance, didn't know what I was fighting for. But this time I am grounded, heart is open, soul is wide, If things go sour, I’m strong enough to step outside. Walk away, never look back, let my life just carry on, Without the aching heartbreak when the morning hits the dawn. Things nearly ended, yeah, I was prepared to leave the room, But she saw the point I made, saved the garden from the gloom. She chose "us" over the "quick fix," the gifts, and the high, Now we’re solid, moving forward, looking straight into the sky. I remain vigilant, I know that things can go wrong, But for now, we’re happy, building where we both belong. Cherished and needed. Everything I needed. (Outro) Yeah. No more looking back with heavy eyes. Just peace... just presence. I know my worth now. And it feels good. It feels right. Grateful for the man I am today. (Fade out) Dax. Yeah. I'm grateful.
