[Verse 1]
I packed lunch in the dark
Set two plates by the sink
Held my tears in my coat
While the whole world made me think
You were coming back home
You were steady, you were true
But the door kept its silence
And it taught me what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
So I learned how to stand
With a shaking hand
I learned how to bend
Then rise again
[Chorus]
Truth won, truth won
Over every lie you left
Peace came, peace came
To the house you used to bless
Two boys, one heart
We survived the falling apart
Truth won, truth won
And love stayed in our arms
[Verse 2]
Little shoes by the bed
Hand-me-downs and school notes
Earning rent with red eyes
Still I kept your sons afloat
When they asked where you went
I would swallow the ache
Say some people promise
But they do not know how to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I learned how to stand
With a trembling hand
I learned how to bend
Then rise again
[Chorus]
Truth won, truth won
Over every lie you left
Peace came, peace came
To the house you used to bless
Two boys, one heart
We survived the falling apart
Truth won, truth won
And love stayed in our arms
[Bridge]
Now the mirror says my name
And I recognize the face
Not a woman left behind
But a mother made of grace
They are strong because I stood
They are kind because I tried
What you broke became the bridge
That carried us alive
[Final Chorus]
Truth won, truth won
Over every lie you left
Peace came, peace came
To the house you used to bless
Two boys, one heart
We survived the falling apart
Truth won, truth won
And love stayed in our arms
Truth won, truth won
And love stayed in our arms
