Hopeful / Healing / Growth

Verse 1

I still got memories folded in drawers

Of who we were before we got lost in the war

Eight years loving, learning as we went

Now I’m trying to understand what this ending meant

We talked about rings, about names, about vows

Crazy how life looks different now

I’m hurting, yeah, I won’t pretend

But maybe this isn’t just the end

Pre-Chorus

I know I caused you pain, I was bitter inside

Fighting old battles I tried to hide

Maybe I need time to work on me

Maybe space is what love needs to breathe

Chorus

This breakup tore me, I’m hurting, I’m upset

But maybe healing’s something we just haven’t seen yet

After eight years, you don’t just erase

A love that time can never replace

I’m letting you go, even loving you still

Trusting that time will help us both heal

If it’s meant to return, it’ll find its way

If not, I’ll be stronger someday

Verse 2

You said don’t let us turn into strangers

Now we’re quiet, and that feels stranger

No friendship left, just distance and air

But I still send you love in silent prayers

Do you still care? Do you still feel?

Are we both just trying to heal?

We might be hurting in different ways

Walking separate but parallel days

Bridge

Maybe one day we’ll talk again

Not as lovers, but more like friends

With softer hearts and wiser eyes

Understanding love sometimes says goodbye

Final Chorus

This breakup tore me, but I’m growing too

Learning the kind of love I deserve and do

I’ll always be grateful our paths aligned

Even if we were only meant for a time
