I Carried Us Alone

Verse 1
Seven years of holding on
To a story already gone
I kept painting brighter skies
While you were closing tired eyes

I was building fragile dreams
Sewing up the broken seams
Every promise that we made
Slowly started to decay

Pre-Chorus
I kept fighting for the flame
While you were walking through the rain
But love can’t live inside a heart
That’s beating only from one part

Chorus
I carried us alone for seven years
Through every silence, every tear
I was the fire, you were the stone
Now I’m finally letting go

No more drowning in your storm
No more trying to keep us warm
I found my strength inside the pain
And I will never beg again

Verse 2
I remember who I was
Before I lost myself in us
Before the nights I cried in bed
With all the words we never said

I thought love meant sacrifice
Paying every lonely price
But love should never feel like war
Between what is and what was before

Pre-Chorus
I see clearly through the dust
Love should never feel like rust
Slowly breaking piece by piece
While begging someone else for peace

Chorus
I carried us alone for seven years
Through every silence, every tear
I was the fire, you were the stone
Now I’m finally letting go

No more drowning in your storm
No more trying to keep us warm
I found my strength inside the pain
And I will never beg again

Bridge
Maybe one day you’ll understand
How empty love feels in one hand
But I won’t wait to see that day
I’ve already walked away

And the air feels different now
Like freedom finally found
For the first time in my life
I’m choosing me tonight

Final Chorus
I carried us alone for seven years
But I’m done drowning in your fears
I was the heart, you were the ghost
Haunting everything I loved most

Now the silence feels like light
And the dark turned into sight
I lost a love that wasn’t true
But finally I found me too
