Since You’ve Been Gone

I thought I’d break when you walked away

Shattered pieces, lost in the grey

But silence taught me how to breathe

And loneliness set my spirit free

I used to beg for your attention

Now I stand in my own reflection

No more waiting on your love to mend

I found myself in the end

Since you’ve been gone, I feel whole again

Stronger than I’ve ever been

You left a space, but I filled it in

With peace, with grace, and my own skin

I thought I needed you to stand

But now I walk with steady hands

It hurt like hell — but it led me in

Since you’ve been gone… I feel whole again

I don’t hate you, I just grew

Into someone I never knew

You were a chapter, not the end

Now I write my story with a brighter pen

I laugh louder, I sleep deep

My heart beats wild, my soul runs free

I’ve found the joy in being mine

And I’m done dimming my light to shine

Since you’ve been gone, I feel whole again

Stronger than I’ve ever been

You left a space, but I filled it in

With dreams, with fire, with everything

I thought I’d crumble, lose my way

But I found magic in the pain

I’m not broken — I transcend

Since you’ve been gone… I feel whole again

Sometimes love means letting go

And giving yourself room to grow

I gave too much, but now I see

The love I needed… was in me

Since you’ve been gone, I feel whole again

This is not the end — it’s where I begin

With every scar, I’ve learned to mend

With my own truth, I won’t pretend

No more chains, no more shame

I’ve reclaimed my name

You were a lesson — not my plan

Since you’ve been gone… I feel whole again

Yeah…

Since you’ve been gone…

I’ve finally come back home… to me.
