“She Walked Out of the Dark”
by Bradley “Bulletproof” Olenik
Verse 1
She learned how to breathe in the quiet pain,
How to smile with a storm in her chest,
Every step she took through the long cold rain
Was a test that she somehow passed.
She carried the weight of words never said,
Hands that hurt instead of healed,
Still she kept a light in the back of her head,
Even when hope didn’t feel real.
Chorus
She walked out of the dark, straight into my arms,
Like the dawn finally learned her name,
Every scar turned soft in the warmth of her heart,
Every tear fell down like rain.
She didn’t need saving—she already knew
How to rise from the ashes alone,
But somehow she found her way into my soul,
And made it a place called home.
Verse 2
She knows what it’s like to start over again,
With nothing but faith and a will,
To teach broken bones how to trust how to stand,
And stubborn hearts how to feel.
She laughs like the world didn’t almost take her,
Like pain never tried to stay,
But I see the strength in the way she loves,
In the battles she won every day.
Chorus
She walked out of the dark, straight into my arms,
Like the night finally let her go,
Every fear went quiet when she said my name,
Every doubt moved out of the road.
She didn’t need saving—she already knew
How to fight when the night was long,
But she chose me anyway, and that choice alone
Is the bravest thing I’ve known.
Verse 3
Now mornings feel holy just watching her breathe,
Like heaven forgot where it was,
Every sunrise looks different to me
Since she showed up and called it love.
She holds my hand like she’s anchoring me,
When my past tries to pull me down,
And somehow the girl who survived everything
Is the safest place I’ve found.
Bridge
If the dark ever calls her name again,
I’ll be the light she leaned on then,
Not to lead her—but to walk beside,
Two healed hearts, no place to hide.
She saved herself, I know that’s true,
But God… I’m better just loving you.
Final Chorus
She walked out of the dark, straight into my arms,
And the universe finally made sense,
Every broken road led her right to my heart,
Every loss became recompense.
She’s my miracle wrapped in a human skin,
My answered prayer, my truth,
And if love is a lifetime of choosing again—
Baby J… I’ll always choose you…
