New Song

(Verse 1)

I couldn’t play our song for a while,

Every melody just felt too loud.

But now there’s something soft in the silence,

Like I’m finally figuring it out.

I wrapped myself in Head Over Boots,

let the quiet hold me there,

And when Delicate came through the speakers,

I felt hope in the air.

(Pre-Chorus)

It wasn’t all Your Fault, I see it clearer now,

you ain’t going nowhere in my mind somehow.

But I found High Hopes in the wreckage we made,

Call It What You Want—I’m not afraid.

(Chorus)

I was Opalite, cracked but catching the light,

just 2% left of me that night.

But I’m Turning Pages, letting new colors through,

like someone Painted Me Pretty in a different view.

You were “Mine Tomorrow,” but not meant to stay,

now I’m learning All Your’n doesn’t mean forever anyway.

It’s Ordinary, the way I’m healing this much,

and I don’t miss you like I used to as such.

(Verse 2)

That Part of me still flinches sometimes,

when I hear your name out of the blue.

But I can almost picture a Life With You—

just not the you I once knew.

We Ain’t Met Us Yet, the people we’ll be,

and I’m starting to like who I see.

I found My Best Friend in the mirror again,

and that’s where the mending begins.

(Pre-Chorus)

I used to think I Want Crazy love or nothing at all,

but Bless the Broken Road for the way I fall.

Maybe the Good Ones take a little more time,

Never Til Now did I think I’d be fine.

(Chorus)

They Don’t Know About Us—the me I’m becoming now,

You & I were a lesson I needed somehow.

And I’ll Say You Won’t Let Go to the girl I was before,

but I’m not her anymore.

It’s Enchanted, the way I breathe again,

Just the Way You Are—I don’t have to pretend.

Everything Has Changed, and I finally see,

there’s still Lucky parts of love left for me.

(Bridge)

I was Thinking Out Loud in an empty room,

gave you my All of Me too soon.

Thought you were Mine, felt Speechless at best,

but love shouldn’t leave you so damn second-guessed.

Now I’m a Beautiful Soul learning where to begin,

a quiet Begin Again growing under my skin.

I Guess I’m In Love—with the life I can choose,

Beautiful Crazy how I’m healing these wounds.

(Final Chorus)

So Love Me like I’m worth it this time,

just one time, no fear in my mind.

I’m not rushing Into You, I’m taking it slow,

like Budapest—got nothing to prove, just letting it flow.

I’m my own Hero, I survived the fall,

this Love Story’s different—I’m not losing it all.

Maybe someday I’ll say Marry Me and mean it’s true,

but right now I’m just learning to love me through.

(Outro)

Your Love Was My Drug, but I broke the replay,

no more Cloud 9 that just fades away.

I used to Hate Love Songs, now I see what they’re for—

there’s a Yours out there that won’t hurt anymore.

And My Girl in the mirror finally believes,

God Gave Me Me, and that’s all I need.

I’m The Only Exception to the rules I outgrew,

a Lover to myself before I’m someone to you.

I See the Light, I’m finally free,

Can’t Help Falling in love with me.
