Forever in Your Eyes

(Verse 1)
You stood there with your heart wide open,
While I was still lost in my own wreckage.
You reached out to steady me,
But I had too many ghosts left to face.

​(Chorus)
I saw forever in your eyes,
A truth I wasn't ready to carry.
You saw the walls I couldn't tear down,
The right person in a season of chaos.
So you let me go to find my footing,
Loving me enough to leave.

​(Verse 2)
I couldn't handle the light you offered,
Too busy fighting battles you didn't start.
You didn't plead or demand I change,
You just stepped back into the silence.

​(Bridge)
It takes a rare kind of strength to know
That holding on would have only broke us both.
You chose my healing over your own heart,
Swallowing the ache so I could breathe.

​(Chorus)
I saw forever in your eyes,
A truth I wasn't ready to carry.
You saw the walls I couldn't tear down,
The right person in a season of chaos.
So you let me go to find my footing,
Loving me enough to leave.

​(Outro)
Now that the dust has finally settled,
I'm looking at the space you used to fill.
Wondering if I'll ever find that grace again,
The love that gave up so I could start over.
