Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Used to wake up mad at the morning
Eyes on the ceiling
Heart on freeze
Talking big game
Walking in circles
Blaming every mirror but me
You pulled up
Cracked jokes on my chaos
Said
"You ain't broken
Just off beat"
Sat me down
Made plans on a napkin
Turned all my fear into concrete

[Chorus]
Nicole got me right
Got me grounded
Took my rage
Made it sound like balance
Told me "stand up straight
You matter"
Now my name got weight
My heart got manners
Nicole got me right
Got me honest
Pulled my lies out slow
Real gentle
If I'm shining now
If I'm solid
That's Nicole in my soul
In my mental (yeah)

[Verse 2]
You the one who checked my ego
Called me out soft
Still let me vent
Said
"Love ain't just late-night secrets
It's quiet days and paid-up rent"
You rode through my broke and my breakthroughs
Clapped for the small steps too
Taught me how to say "I'm sorry"
And mean it when the words came through (uh)

[Chorus]
Nicole got me right
Got me grounded
Took my rage
Made it sound like balance
Told me "stand up straight
You matter"
Now my name got weight
My heart got manners
Nicole got me right
Got me honest
Pulled my lies out slow
Real gentle
If I'm shining now
If I'm solid
That's Nicole in my soul
In my mental (Nicole)

[Bridge]
From the bus stop talks to the late-night walks (yeah)
You drew me a map when the streets felt lost
If I ever slide back to that old dark place
I just trace my steps right back to your grace

[Chorus]
Nicole got me right
Got me grounded
Took my rage
Made it sound like balance
Told me "stand up straight
You matter"
Now my name got weight
My heart got manners
Nicole got me right
Got me honest
Pulled my lies out slow
Real gentle
If I'm better now
If I grew up
That's Nicole in my life
Lifting me up (hey)
