Verse 1
I came with a suitcase and a guilty heart
Left town right after I pulled it apart
The island was quiet, but my head was loud
Every mirror knew what I wouldn’t say out loud
I swore it was lonely, swore it was fear
Swore I didn’t mean to disappear
But some lines once crossed don’t fade away
They just show up in the light of day
Pre-Chorus
The waves don’t judge
They just repeat
Coming back to me
At my feet
Chorus
I lost everything I thought was solid
When trust slipped through my open hands
Now I’m just trying to make it by
Learning how to live with where I am
Yeah I’m sorry in ways words can’t fix
But I’m showing up, I’m trying
I’m not asking to be forgiven
I’m just learning how to stand
Verse 2
There’s a bar by the harbor I won’t go near
Too many couples, too much cheer
I drink alone, let the jukebox play
Songs about love I threw away
I write your name but never send
Delete apologies halfway in
Some nights I own it, no disguise
Some nights I hate myself for the lie
Pre-Chorus
The tide pulls out
Reveals the sand
Every broken thing
I left unmanned
Chorus
I lost everything I thought was certain
When I crossed a line I couldn’t mend
Now I’m just trying to make it by
Carrying the truth and moving ahead
Yeah I know “I’m sorry” isn’t magic
But I’m changing how I live it
I’m not looking for a second chance
I’m just learning who I am
Bridge
Maybe growth is facing what I broke
Sitting with the weight instead of letting go
Maybe love isn’t who stayed or who left
But who I become after the wreck
I don’t blame you for walking away
I just wish I’d chosen better that day
Outro
I lost everything I thought was certain
But I didn’t lose my will to try
Now I’m just taking it day by day
Keeping my heart open, staying alive
Yeah the past is something I can’t change
But it’s not where I’m standing
I’m not asking to be forgiven
I’m just learning how to stand
