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.
